Bedtime Stories

We're back to school, back to our routines, looking back over our shoulders with a sigh at those lazy, hazy summer days. And just what happened to our preschoolers' routines over the summer, by the way? Did they slip just a tad? Did ice cream on the weekends become ice cream pretty much every afternoon? Did bedtime at 7:30pm sharp drift a bit to accommodate another barbecue with the cousins, or warm summer evenings of star-gazing? Well, perhaps, and all for the good. But what with everyone big and small now needing to be somewhere in the morning, that earlier bedtime is starting to seem awfully sensible once again. For a bit of help getting back on track with your kids' early bedtime routines, look no further than a few of our favorite bedtime stories and songs. Their preschool teachers will thank you for sending them well-rested (not to mention well-read) little scholars in the morning. Sleep well, everyone!

Time for Bed

You won't find a lovelier bedtime book than this one. Truly, you won't. Jane Dyer's naturalistic watercolors of mother animals snuggling their little ones to sleep are simply gorgeous: she even makes a mother snake look cuddly. In simple rhymes, the mother animals all repeat the mantra: time for bed, time to sleep. If this darling book doesn't get that message across, we can't imagine what will.
