Bedtime is a big deal in our home. As parents, we deserve a little time each night to unwind alone and our precious children need rest. They need to be renewed for the next day of busy fun. Reading any book to your little one each night is a good way to help them learn and unwind, but reading a bedtime story is particularly a special way to send them to dreamland quickly and peacefully.
These 8 books focus on love, cuddles, and bedtime are sure to make you or your little one sleep.
This sweet bedtime story has illustrations of human characters and takes baby along on a relaxing bedtime routine. From playtime to bath time….this story is sure to unwind even a very active little one.
This book has the most beautiful pictures that any bedtime story could offer. Little Owl is an interesting character that wakes to see his friend’s adventures during the day….a pretty interesting, but peaceful read for your sleepy adventurer.
What bedtime story could be cuter than this! The sleepy time story allows you to introduce animals to your little one and encourage a sweet slumber. While there are not many words in the story, it still tells a story that will help your child relax and unwind. The zookeeper is also in need of a good night’s rest!
This story may not be designed as a bedtime story, but it gives reassurance to a sleepy child— that mom or dad will always be there to comfort them and guide them, even at bedtime. Mama and baby elephant are two sweet characters surrounded by other animal families.
I think that what’s most sweet about this story is that it gives dad’s a chance to be celebrated for comforting their toddlers. Little Nut Brown Hare proves to his dad just how much he loves him, and isn’t that what all of our little ones enjoy showing us? Cuddle up, and enjoy this read.
It’s definitely hard to pass up on an adorably classic lullaby that we all have sung to our baby at least once. Having it as a storybook will make it even more memorable.
This book is a collection of familiar lullabies such as Brahms Lullaby, All The Pretty Horses, and much more. A CD is included for you to use in a nursery or on a relaxing car ride.
