I feel like this book encourages children to resist bedtime. Not my favorite lesson.

[Mirko Gustic · Rating 3 out of 5]

Krasne animovane (to ako naozaj), vybycovane emocie (to trosku menej), silny pribeh (to este trosku menej), a hlavne ten odkaz (no to skoro vobec).

Na take tie

Vy: "uz je vela hodin, ziadna rozpravka"

Mlada (pre ucely tejto recenzie, zajacik): "ale este rozpravku!"

Vy: "ale len kratku!"

...situacie.

Nikto neni dokonale spokojny, ale ani dokonale nespokojny a preto to maju u mna za 3.

Thumper’s Rule: If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all.

Thumper is a rabbit (we found out much later that he came from the Disney film, “Bambi”). Thumper does not want to sleep. Everyone is preparing for bed – the mouse, the duckies, the chipmunk, and the squirrel. Then Thumper heard his mama calling and he knew he had to go home. Papa told a bedtime story. Still, Thumper wouldn’t go to sleep!

Papa and Mama kissed him and Thumper at last went to sleep.

This was our bedtime reading until my son turned one year. We would read several books but our finale would always be “Thumper”. We used to read this lying down but when he became mobile at five months, he would either sit on my lap or move about while I read to him. When Papa and Mama kiss Thumper, my son would know it was time for bed (but of course not before he got a good dose of tickling when Thumper’s sisters cry, “Thumper! We missed you!”)

You can be sure we never went out of town without bringing Thumper with us.

Synopsis: "With simple text and sturdy board pages, these two new titles in the Disney Bunnies line are ideally sized for toddlers' little hands and even Easter baskets. In these stories, Thumper is not quite ready to go to bed, and he learns to count to ten. Full color."

My Review: This is a cute Disney version of the classic goodnight book. Thumper gets to say good night to the forest animals. My one question is where is Bambi and Flower? I am sure that once Munchkin is able to understand the movie and book he will be wondering the same thing. That said, the illustrations are cute and the story is short, simple and sweet.

Sweet little picture book. It's very short, and really only intended for the youngest crowd. Still, the art is creative, colourful, and evocative. Certainly worth a read for the great lover of Bambi. Especially so if that person is under three.

My little girl LOVES this series of books. We read them almost every night.

This is still a go to bedtime story in our house. Short and easy to read.

This is my daughter's favorite bed time story!

Ja vielä lisää samaa nukkumisen välttelyteemaa. Eikä edes Disney tuo mitään uutta aiheeseen.
Toimii silti nukkumaan mennessä.

[Siskiyou-Suzy · Rating 1 out of 5]

I hate these soulless stories.

Could’ve used a bit more character development.
