Another great collaboration between author Marion Dane Bauer and illustrator JoEllen McAllister Stammen, this wonderful bedtime story reminds me of Time for Bed by Mem Fox.
The use of a repititious sentence  at the end of each page, helps to bring young listeners and beginning  readers into the story. This is a great bedtime story to read to small  children.  Animals preparing for a restful night are depicted throughout  this beautiful book.  At the end, if a young reader looks very carefully,  they will notice the father was reading this particular book to his young  child before he falls asleep.  The child, however is still awake and  looking at a stuffed polar bear.  She drifts off to sleep, dreaming about  riding off on the back of the polar bear.
The beautiful illustrations  reflect the authors words perfectly.  The animals throughout the book are  illustrated with great detail.  An excellent book.  A must buy for anyone  with young children. This would also be a great baby shower gift!

My two year old really enjoyed this story. Not only that, but I did as well and felt very touched by the story. When the book was over, my two year old exclaimed, "again?". I think this is a perfect book for a bedtime routine and the illustrations are also really beautiful.

The story is sweet, the illustrations are truly beautiful, and it's a nice length for a bedtime story. It appealed to me right away as an adult, but I wasn't sure how my son would like it... well, he loves it! It is the most requested bedtime story for 2 weeks running.

It has some more advanced words in it, but he still understands the story because of the context. And what's really fun is when he asks me what the words mean: squadron, amiable, hopes, joys and sorrows...

It's a special story.

I chose this book for my 3 year old and 18 month old grandsons as their bedtime read.  I knew it was a perfect pick when the little guy stood in his crib listening and looking as I turned pages with his older brother.  They were pleased by the well told, yet simple story.  The beautiful illustrations were the perfect complement.  We read it twice that night before returning it their book shelf.  Wonderfully delightful!

Peace at Last by Jill Murphy is a wonderful little book that is just right for bedtime stories.  It's the tale of a drowsy Mr Bear as his attempts at sleep are disrupted by Mrs Bear's snoring, baby Bear's playing, clocks and  cats, taps and owls (something no matter how old, we can all relate to).  The text is easy to follow and the artwork is ideal for little ones.  My  four-year-old twins - Lucy and Joshua - adore this book, it was one of  their first and we'll be reading it long after others have lost their  appeal.

My daughters absolutely love Go To Sleep, Maddie! by Maureen Wright. The colors are bright and illustrated even though it is about nighttime.  It has animals in it and Maddie's parents. I love that all of the same things that Maddie says and does to her parents before bed, are the same things that her animals do to her before they all finally go to bed. My daughter thinks is really funny when the sheet says it has to go to the baaaaaath-rroom. LOL. The best part is hearing her say "go to sleep" after each character. And I love that it is on my kindle on my phone since I always have my phone with us. Recently, we went camping and I forgot all of her bedtime books at home, but she reminded me that I still had Maddie on my phone. So she still was able to get her bedtime story and she knew most of it. Now, she asks for my phone so she can read it to her baby sister. it's so adorable. You won't be disappointed with the story or drawing of this bedtime story. Even when my daughter asks for another bedtime story, it's always in addition to this one. I love it and so does she.

I Love You, Good Night is a wonderful little rhyme coupled with the bright engaging illustrations that make this a going to bed classic.  How lucky are we story time readers that the publisher has decided to re-release this charming book in a large edition perfect for group sharing! For anyone working with groups of toddlers and looking for the perfect addition to their nap time routine, or any story time leader looking for a book to round out their bedtime theme, this is a perfect choice.

This story combines real heart felt emotion with just the perfect sense of whimsy, as each large two page spread offers up a different way to describe how much the child is loved.  From "like blueberry pancakes", to "like boots love splashing in puddles", this is a wonderful feel good way to send your little one off to dream land.  The large size really gives things a nice visual impact, and the sturdy board pages ensure that it will hold up through lots of re-reads.  A fun choice that I can't wait to share with my night time story time kids.

This book should be included in the bedtime story canon, along with classics such as Goodnight Moon.

The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, which look like paintings done on wood canvases.

The book shows several different ways that creatures sleep- from snowy cranes to crickets- and ends with of course, boys and girls. Both my 2 year old and my 6 year old enjoy this story. A good way to end the day and settle in with your little ones.

I loved this charming, visually clearly expresive picture book.  The creative, wholesome story invites listener participation, encourages thinking out of the box, and helps children start to understand the concept of perspective.  The whimsical drawings are fun, bring a smile to my face, and make me want to read this book over and over again.  Great any time, but especially for a short and sweet good night bedtime read.

This is a well rounded story that I think children will love.  I'm going to have my granddaughter read it as well.  The characters are all animals which makes it fun for young imaginations while it teaches sharing and concern for others.  A good bedtime story for anytime, but I'm sure it will be a favorite during the holiday season.....
