Wonderful Bedtime book

This is the cutest little book. My daughter has loved this book for 3 years now. She gets a big grin and asks me if I'll read "mommy's favorite" book to her even though she has it memorized. Cute rhymes and message and the illustration is wonderful. There is a couple of pages in the middle of the book that just show the different animal families. My daughter blows kisses to each one and says goodnight bunnies, goodnight...

A perfect bedtime book

Reviewed by Cayden (age 4 1/2) and Max (age 2 1/2) Aures and Mom for Reader Views (6/09) In "Time to Say Goodnight" it is bedtime in the forest.

The Best, according to my wife

My wife absolutely fell in love with this book the first time she saw it. It has replaced Goodnight Moon as our primary bedtime book for our two year old. The illustration is absolutely fantastic, and the gentle rhymes are great for our child to repeat with us.

A Great Bedtime Story for Parents and Children

It's bedtime in the forest. From the bunnies to the bears, it's time for them to close their eyes and go to sleep. Each page looks at a family of animals and encourages them to go to sleep. This bedtime story doesn't just stop at the animals, though. "What about you, sleepyhead?" the book asks as you get to the end. It's time for little boys and girls to go to bed too. Short rhymes make up each page and the illustrations...

A wonderful book!

In the middle of this book the animals turn to the child looking at the pictures and tell them it's THEIR TURN to go to sleep. My children love this clever twist, and they love the rhyming text and beautiful artwork. A hit!
