Description
Get your blankie and snuggle up for a bedtime story of fun animal rhymes and colourful lift-the-flap illustrations with ten charming ways of saying sweet dreams as you tuck in your little one for the night.
Grab Your Pillow, Armadillo was honoured as the 2022 BRONZE Winner for Picture Books, Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards.
Multiple studies have shown the value of bedtime reading with your child. Nightly stories help to strengthen memory and concentration, promote command of language, boost imagination, expand horizons, teach morals and ethics, foster parent-child bonding, and ensure that children feel loved. What better way to say “I love you” than a cosy lap, a hug, and a story just as you whisper goodnight to your toddler? This lift-the-flap book will engage children with the sweet illustrations and animal rhymes that might just become a part of your nightly bedtime conversation.
“Times a tickin’, little chicken” so “grab your pillow, armadillo” and “let’s snuggle, baby puggle” until it's time for “lights out, tired trout.” “Rest snug, lady bug” and “all my love, turtle dove.”
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
"Delightful bedtime story that takes readers through a whole series of short rhymes. Each rhyming pair shows a different animal preparing for bed. The final spread puts them all together in one fun rhythmic sentence for toddlers and parents to read together. Each page spread opens to reveal the animal in the second half of the rhyme. Terrific to encourage guessing/predicting skills. Readers of all ages will enjoy the humour in each short phrase beginning with the title rhyme." – Pamela Gombert, Librarian
