Good Night, Teddy Bear — Lynne Bertrand

In Good Night, Teddy Bear, little readers ages six months to four years help Teddy with his bedtime rituals, from putting away his toys and taking his bath to getting into his pajamas and reading a poem. Each page has a special activity. The toy box actually opens, the bath soap smells good, the pajamas are soft flannel, and Teddy can be rocked while he reads his book. In all, there are eleven objects for children to touch and play with, including a mirror, a bristly toothbrush in a cabinet that opens, a small book with pages that turn, a rocking chair that really rocks, fluffy window curtains to peek behind, a night light to switch on and a furry kitten to pet.By easing children toward bed, this book follows the advice of child experts, who recommend establishing a pattern of regular evening rituals. The engaging little story will give both children and their parents something to look forward to at night.Includes pop-up art, die cuts and numerous tactile features.
