And if you want to buy this month’s titles:
Bedtime with Ted – Sophy Henn
It’s time for bed, Ted! But Ted is busy. He’s brush, brush, brushing his teeth with a crocodile! And splish, splosh, splashing with penguins in the bath. And jump, jump, jumping out his fi dgets with a
kangaroo …
Join in the fun as Ted is too busy for bedtime – and lift the flaps to find out what he is doing next! All the craziness leads to a quiet and soothing ending, making this the ideal fun bedtime read for toddlers.
Goodnight World – Debi Gliori
Goodnight ice and goodnight snow,
Goodnight lights above, aglow.
It’s time to say goodnight with this gorgeous bedtime story from the much-loved Debi Gliori, bestselling author-illustrator of No Matter What.
Join in the list of important things to say goodnight to – ships, animals, plants, toys and of course, the sun – in a beautifully illustrated rhyming text that’s perfect for bedtime.
Rockabye Pirate – Timothy Knapman, illusAda Grey
Rock-a-bye pirate, in the crow’s nest
Mummy says bedtime, and Mummy knows best.
You’ve had your adventures, you’ve sailed the high seas,
So under the covers and go to sleep, please.
After sailing the seven seas and making other pirates walk the plank, Rockabye Pirate is sleepy.
There’ll be no more yo-ho-hoing and no more ‘A-harr me hearties!’
It’s time for loot-filled lullabies and dreams of buried treasure.
It would be lovely to see what you’ve done using the themes – either dressing up or going out somewhere related to the themes, or even just doing the activities! Please upload your photos to Instagram, and use the following tags – @nickelbooks @bloomsburybooks #BloomsburyPictureBooks
