Ease little ones into the get-ready-for-bed routine with this warm and cosy bedtime book. Aided by Mum and Dad, a sister and brother enjoy a little snack, relaxing baths, time for brushing teeth, stories, lullabies, back rubs, and hugs. Cheerful, soft illustrations and reassuring text set a tone that helps toddlers feel good about settling down to sleep. (As the narrator explains, 'I do my best growing when I'm sleeping.') In the morning, the children will yawn, stretch, and be a little bit bigger, a little bit stronger, and a little bit smarter - all because of a good night's sleep. It features a dynamic, award-winning author/illustrator team of the best-selling "Best Behavior[trademark]" series. An unique and fresh series look and design complements gentle and reassuring text. Books engage toddlers in facing daily routines and transitions with confidence. Tips for parents and caregivers are included at the end of each book. It is ideal for both home and childcare settings.
