I read this book with my granddaughter Emily. We had great fun reading and talking about how she would like to do her bedtime routine. We've always had a bedtime routine for both my children and my grandchildren. I'll add Emily's bedtime routine she has made at the end.
I love how the mam in the story asks for some help from her children with making bedtime run easier. The children decide what steps they needed and then sat about drawing some pictures to show what is next in a bedtime routine. Mam puts the pictures up on the way and once it was time for bed she asked what is first. working through the steps the children had made mam asked what sort of bath would they pick, followed by toothpaste, pyjamas, bed and lastly what dream they would like to have. We loved the illustration, they were colourful and fun, with plenty to talk about on each page. This would make a great bedtime story book, as well as a way to encourage children to have a lovely bedtime routine they have picked.
Here are Emily's answers for going to bed...Bath:- a hot bubble bath in front of a fire, talking about her day. Toothpaste:-a toothpaste that told jokes. Pyjamas:-matching pyjamas for her and Igils (her bedtime comforter). Bed:-on a cloud with a note under the pillow from Nana and last of all her Dream:-in a spaceship flying to the moon eating watermelon. Emily scores this book 5+ stars.

This is a lovely picture book perfect for young children.
It's beautifully illustrated and tells a tale of a mum being slightly frustrated that bedtimes are always fussy so she decides the following morning to get both her children involved in drawing pictures that explain each step to bedtime.
While they go through the steps, like bath time, they think of lots of funny imaginative ways to have a bath, for example, in melted chocolate or with a mermaid 🧜♀️
It follows this format throughout each step.
Lots of ideas and then the question...
Which of these baths 🛁 would you choose?
This promotes lots of conversation and imaginative language with the young listener.
There are lots of wonderful suggestions at the back of the book to help make bedtime a calm and positive routine.
It's a really useful, fun little book! 📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me! 🤓
