Toddler and Preschool Books About Bedtime

Books About Bedtime for Toddlers and Preschoolers

Story time and bedtime go hand and hand as you are raising your child.  These popular toddler and preschooler books about bedtime will become a part of your nightly routine and you connect with your child.

They are some of my favorites over the years as I tucked my three little ones into bed at night.

As a parent bedtime become a hot topic in your house once you have a baby. It’s why we choose it as this week’s theme as Bedtime at the Virtual Book Club for Kids.

You are continually, in the beginning, making sure that your little one is sleeping enough. At times you may or may not have gotten advice on how to have your little one sleeping through the night. Soon enough we all realize every child can be different and you just have to listen to your child’s needs.

One thing that I do know is true that reading and connecting with your child during your nighttime routine can be a great way to connect with your child.  Sneaking in stories about sleeping is a helpful way of showing them how in the ideal the bedtime routine is supposed to go each night.

Here are some of my favorite children’s picture books about bedtime that are sure to help your nightly bedtime routine run smoothly. Head to your library or favorite local book store to add to your collection. For your convenience, I’ve included a link on the book covers and book titles to Amazon for easy shopping.  I’ll make a small commission for each story you purchase there.
