Ira Sleeps Over

I read this book to the kids at work today. It's a super sweet story, and the illustrations are really wonderful. Have you read it before? What was your favorite book when you were a child? If you're interested, you can buy the book here. I hope you're having a thrilling Thursday!

Nightmares

Recently I've been having really vivid dreams, some of which are extremely frightening. Have you had any bad dreams lately? Any suggestions on how to prevent them? Last night I tried to think happy thoughts before going to bed and that seemed to help. I looked for suggestions online but they seemed mostly geared towards the under ten crowd... :-)

Bedtime with Eric Carle

                                                

ADORABLE

Isn't this bedding, (unfortunately currently out-of-stock but normally available here), showcasing Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar ADORABLE??? I kind of want it for myself...

Bedtime

Do you have a bedtime routine? I don't now because I'm always going to bed at different times and under different circumstances, but I wish I did. When I was little I didn't like to go to sleep without being read to and "tucked in", and in highschool I had to have a cup of tea and read a book before sleeping. Some of my favorite bedtime themed children's books are Mickey in the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak, Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, and anything illustrated by Michael Hague made for sweet dreams. All three are pictured above in the order mentioned (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol illustrated by Michael Hague is the last shown). What books did you read when you were young? Or if you have kids what books do you like reading to them?
