Girls nighttime reading

A friend gave us this book many years ago. When the girls were little we would read 3 or more books a night before bed. This was one of the books we read almost every night. The fun rhymes and great pictures, made this book fun for the girls.

I love to read this story to my daughter before bed time.  We usually look for the moon in the sky first which makes it more fun for her.

A magical, eerie graphic novel that's genuinely the right length and reading level for younger middle graders. If your kids like Neil Gaiman and Spirited Away, they'll love Nightlights!

We were delighted to have the chance to read Light Up New York, the next in the Glimmer Girls series by Natalie Grant! My middle daughter, Beth, is 9 and absolutely loves these books. They are a sweet, modern fiction series that points girls to Christ through their adventures.

The premise is about three sisters who travel around the world with their singer mother. It is modeled after Natalie Grant's own family which is sweet. I know it is easiest to write what you know and she does this in a lovely way! They also have a nanny who is fun-loving and a little wacky.

I really like this series because so many of the books written for young girls these days focus on girl-power or getting back at someone. My girls see enough of that in real life without needing to read about it! I want my girls to engage with books which will lift up their spirits and encourage them. At the very least I do not want them to contradict the values we are teaching from God's Word. This series does even more by continually pointing them back to Scripture and their parents to know how to deal with problems.

Here is what Beth has to say:
I like that it is a mystery and that it has three girls in it. I like that because there are three girls in our family. It was easy to read and fun. I would let my cousin read it because it has a mystery in it.

If you have girls ages 8-12 who are looking for fun chapter books, this is a great option for them!

My daughters (ages 7 and 9) love this book.  I first read it to them at bedtime and now it is one they routinely read themselves just before going to bed.  Great pictures.

I bought this for my daughter for beach reading. First night I told her she could read until 9:30 and had to go to bed. She came out and said she wished she could read another chapter because the book is awesome!

A lot of times she gives me a hard time when I pick out books, but she loved this and she's already ready to read the second book in this series.

Amelia Bedelia is a wonderful way to get girls excited about reading.  These are books that girls will read over and over.

This book is great for a quick read before bed since it is only about 2 words per page. It holds the attention span of my 20-month-old twin girls with the bright pictures of chicks. They love the pictures and find it funny the words.

My daughters loved their new lights for reading.  They share a room and these are the perfect amount of light and bendability that allows each girl to read before bed without disrupting the other.

I love taking this book out when I have friends over - it's great for young girls sleepovers.  Fun to read yours and others "future"

My daughter absolutely loves these books.  She cannot wait to read what happens next every night!  We are going to buy more!

My four year old daughter loves this book.  It has been in our nightly reading rotation for months. Vibrant pictures. Book was given as a gift, so no verified purchase.

Since yawns are contagious, this was a great night time book to read to a sleepy two-year-old who doesn't want to be sleepy. I also liked the mixed race couple, which subtly shows young eyes that families can be made up of people who don't look alike.

My 7 year old daughter likes this because of the princesses, but my daughter reads in bed a lot!  And she shares a room with her brother, so the overhead light has to be off for him to sleep.  it doesn't give off quite as much light as others we have tried, and would be nice if the flex neck was longer to position better but keep out of the line of sight.  Not a bad purchase, but don't know if we would purchase again.

Elementary-school-aged girls love these books.  My girls start reading them as soon as they're unwrapped!  Not exactly literary masterpieces, but kids find them interesting and funny.  The stories are always light - good for sensitive children who aren't yet ready for (and might tend to avoid reading) books that are scary or upsetting.

I can read at night without the night light on and won't bother my wife. Battery lasts a month or so. Books are cheap. When you open it it goes right to the page you left it at.

My 3 year old granddaughter wants me to read it to her at least twice every night. That's enough of a recommendation.
