Check out the list below for our compilation of 20 must-have bedtime books.
Don’t Let the Pigeon Stay up Late
By Mo Willems (Hyperion Books for Children)
“First of all, I’m not even tired. In fact, I am in the mood for a hot dog party.” With silly phrases like this (read with a silly voice of course), you’ll have your little munchkin giggling her way into bed.
Why You Should Own This Book: Most children are all too good at creating excuses. Using his keen sense of humour, Willems does a spectacular job at making parents and children laugh at even the most exasperating excuses (I’m thirsty, I can’t go to bed without a drink!). This book may even be an excellent way to talk to your children about their bedtime excuses. Try asking questions like: The pigeon seems tired, so why do you think he doesn't want to go to bed? Do any of his excuses sound familiar?
