Book Review: Night Night, Sleepytown


Another Amy Parker book we added to our collection. Night Night, SleepTown has all the cute illustrations that we've love. It goes through many of the characters in Sleepytown, like the mayor, the construction workers, teachers, saying goodnight to each of them. Like all of the other Night Night books, this is a solid boardbook with padded covers. It's not the most simulating read, but it's quick and the kids like like. It's good for toddlers and preschoolers.



*I received this book for review from BookLook Bloggers.

Book Review: Candy Apple Blessings


Candy Apple Blessings is a great book to go over all the wonderful things we are grateful for in the fall! I love that this book highlights all of our favorite fall festivities. The board book itself doesn't feel as sturdy as some of our other padded board books, but the illustrations and which bedtime story make up for that. I would say, this is a great book for prek and toddlers. They'll love all the pictures! So cute.

Book Review: Big Trucks Getting the Job Done Together


Big Trucks Getting the Job Done Together is a board book that has great textures and simple story about the different jobs the trucks have on a construction site. The kids loved the rubbery wheels, the reflective windows, the scratchy dirt, and more! The story isn't amazing, but my kids seemed to enjoy it. Both boys and girls will like this fun Touch and Feel book. The illustrations are adorable. My son is obsessed with trucks and has been carrying the book around since we got it.

Book Review: ICB Golden Princess Sparkle Bible


The ICB Golden Princess Sparkle Bible is a bright hard covered Bible. The print in the book is just a basic format. There are some really pretty illustrations, but nothing stands out about this Bible. I like the ICB translation, but unfortunately, it's above the reading level for the little girls I was hoping to give this to. I do like that there are little footnotes for additional definitions for some names and provides a little bit of context. However, overall, I was not impressed with this Bible.

Book Review: The Beginner's Bible Bedtime Collection


Adding another to our college of The Beginner's Bibles. The Bedtime Collection is about a quarter of the size of the original, and includes a prayer at the end of each story. The pages are vibrant and glossy. The cover is a padded boardbook type cover. The 20 stories are mostly the same as the original Beginner's Bible. The thing I like about this is the size. It's much better for your small toddler hands. The original is a bit bulky. I think this is a great way to introduce your little ones to quiet times before bed. And let's be honest. Who doesn't like GLOW IN THE DARK?!  This is a great gift for your the little ones in your life!

Book Review: Go to Sleep, Sheep!


If you've ever had to put a toddler to bed, you'll be able to relate 100% to the mama sheep in Go to Sleep, Sheep!  This book made my preschooler and me laugh because it really does sound so much like my little ones when it's bed time!

"But we're not tired!"
"I'm still hungry!"
"I'm thirsty!"

We loved the cute cutout of the book, the adorable illustration and the fun story of basically our bedtime routine! This is a great bedtime book for toddlers and preschoolers. If you have a kiddo who goes to bed without these excuses, you may want to skip this book, so you don't give them any ideas! However, if you do get these excuses, it's a fun bedtime book. I better go put my little sheep to bed now!

Book Review: Dinner for Dinos


If your little one loves dinos as much as mine, they'll love this adorable board book, Dinner For Dinos by Ben Whitehouse. This is a very well made boardbook with padded covers and solid pages. The illustrations are so adorable. I like that it promotes healthy eating and good manners. This is perfect for my little guy. I would recommend this book for all dino loving toddlers and preschoolers. The best part is, it's a super quick read for bedtime!
