Although I'm clearly not the audience for this picture book [2.5 for me!], having never had a child of my own or worked much with the little ones, I can see its value for its intended audience. Inside, readers will be able to follow Ms. Rachel as she helps Bean get ready for bed. A bedtime routine is important in preparing youngsters, particularly very young ones, to settle down for the night. With song snippets and repetitive words, Ms. Rachel demonstrates how to do this, step by step. Photoshop illustrations accompany the text, which will be helpful for new parents. There's even a useful chart for each step of the routine.
