I must say the exercise directly before going to sleep (and after taking a bath!) always seems very silly to us. We enjoy the cute rhymes and illustrations. I'm still finding funny details in the pictures that I never noticed before! As Connor gets older he is starting to identify with some of the activities in the book (bath, brushing teeth) which is fun to see.

They are regulars in our house. Another wonderful bedtime book we just stumbled across is "Kisses for Daddy" (Afraid I can't remember the author!). In this delightful book, Daddy Bear is putting a slightly resistant Baby Bear to bed. At each stage in the process (going up stairs, bath, drink, jammies, etc) Daddy Bear asks if he can give a particular kiss (wiggly giggly monkey kisses, clingy koala kisses, little mouse kisses). The giggling Baby Bear keeps saying 'Noooo". Of course, the right kiss is found in the end! The animal references are really vivid, sweet and a bit silly -making for fun bedtime cuddles yourself! It's also really nice to have a book about getting ready for bed where Dad is the main carer! Jake has also loved “Goodnight Me”, “Time for Bed” and “The Going to Bed Book”!
