Let's Get Ready for Bed by Michael W. Smith and Mike Nawrocki

This book is the first book that I did not read first. I listened to this book for the first and only reading so far, something I don't think has happened before. We all sat on our daughter's bed and listened to Daddy read the story. Of course, as soon as it was finished, our daughter immediately wanted it read again and was quite disappointed when that didn't happen. This was a book I let her pick out of a few options and she was so excited about it coming in the mail.

Written by the popular singer, Michael W. Smith, G-Daddy to 14 grandchildren and Mike Nawrocki, co-founder of the popular Veggie Tales is whimsical bedtime story about a little puppy getting ready for bed. It's all rhyming verse, which endears a story to me immediately, and goes through the basic bedtime routines, brushing teeth, saying prayers, a story, and a lullaby. The puppy's friends look on until they are needed. It's just a cute, fun story.

The pictures add to the whimsy of it. You can see from the front cover the style of illustrations, not really true to life, but to me they are cute and just fit with the story. The cover is also fun with some tactile sensations included on the clouds. This would make a great Christmas gift to the little ones in your life who need a good bedtime story.

As an added plus, there's a link included with the book that allows you to listen to Michael W. Smith singing the lullaby that's written in the book. This is the second in a series of bedtime books put out by Nurturing Steps. Nurturing Steps was founded by Michael W Smith and is an infant and toddler series of children's music and books with a simple mission to enliven a child's journey with hope and faith through music and storytelling.

I received this book from Book Look Bloggers and was not required to write a positive review.
