Great Bedtime Books

The Snowy Day
Ezra Jack Keats
"Snow may be a major pain for those of us who have to shovel it, but in Peter's world, a fresh snow is the perfect canvas for footprints and snow angels, and snowballs are meant for saving in your pocket. To us, this is a story as sweet and gentle as a beautiful winter wonderland." 

Wonder Bear Tao Nyeu
"A book with no words, encourages kids to make up their own. The author's master's project and first book -- so gorgeous!" 
When Sheep Cannot Sleep Satoshi Kitamura
"This has held the top spot on my bookshelf for years. The colors are vibrant and the artwork is sophisticated, but it's accessible to kids."
Skippy Jon Jones, Lost in Spice Judy Schachner
"A latino cat that thinks he's a Chihuahua -- multilingual and hilarious!" 
Bedtime can be crazy at times but establishing a reading-routine (especially for the little ones) can easily smooth the rough edges of turning it in. This partial list is brought to you courtesy of Parents.com
