Margaret Wise Brown’s classic stories have delighted readers for generations. Here are five additional bedtime books that help little ones wind down, close their eyes, and drift off to sleep.
The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boynton
Every animal you can imagine performing his or her unique bedtime ritual and heading off to sleep.
Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker
If your little one is a truck lover, this is the book for you! It includes a crane truck, cement mixer, bulldozer and an excavator.
Good Night, Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann
A nearly wordless tale of a naughty monkey that releases the zoo animals just as the Zookeeper bids them goodnight. It has enough comedy to keep interest, but not enough to rile anyone up.
Owl Babies by Martin Waddell
In this sweet and comforting story, three baby owls wait for their mother to return to their tree. The gentle lyrical text and cozy illustrations make it a great choice for fans of Margaret Wise Brown.
Time for Bed, Old House by Janet Costa Bates
Use this book to help create a soothing bedtime routine similar to that of Goodnight Moon as you wind down your evening activities.
