Book Reviews of The Going-To-Bed Book
Book Review: Going to Bed: Then and Now
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was a toddler I requested my parents read me this book so often that they actually had to hide the book! Now as the mother of a young baby myself I can assert that this is one of my son's favorites as well. We read it to him every night as part of his bedtime routine and he's completely engrossed. Not to mention the last two pages especially engender a certain rhythmic drowsiness all on their own! By the time we've finished reading this book to him, all we have to do is say goodnight and leave the room and he doesn't even fuss--just goes straight to sleep.
As both the readee and reader, I adore this book! It also comes in a Spanish version--I have both and alternate because I'm trying to teach my son Spanish.
Summary of The Going-To-Bed Book
Serious silliness for all ages. Artist Sandra Boynton is back and better than ever with completely redrawn versions of her multi-million selling board books. These whimsical and hilarious books, featuring nontraditional texts and her famous animal characters, have been printed on thick board pages, and are sure to educate and entertain children of all ages.For a little one who is reluctant to go to bed, sometimes a silly book is just the ticket. And when it comes to silly books, Sandra Boynton is the undisputed queen. In The Going to Bed Book, an ark full of animals watches the sun go down and then prepares for bed. They take a bath ("in one big tub"), find pajamas, brush their teeth, do exercises up on deck (imagine an elephant jumping rope, a moose lifting weights, and a pig doing handstands), and finally say good night.
The moon is high. The sea is deep.Boynton's inimitable animal characters have graced the pages of scads of picture books over the years. She has an extraordinary knack for knowing what appeals to small children: simple rhymes, goofy animals in goofy settings, and sweet, comforting stories. This book, along with her many other board-book titles (Moo, Baa, La La La!, But Not the Hippopotamus, and others) will surely remain a favorite. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
