Time: 4:00 p.m., CST (viewable all night long)I thought the idea of a mass bedtime story reading was fun. And I have read Farkle before. John Lithgow’s children’s book have made a frequent appearance on our library list. Our favorite has got to be the Runaway Pancake. We found a recording of a live performance that is hilarious!
Other books that have made my favorite bedtime story list are:
I Love You, Little One by Nancy Tafuri This has got to be our best ever random find at a booksale. Mr. Numbers picked this one up on a whim and it has become my most favorite bedtime book. I think at some point every child asks “Do you love me mama?” I personally love all the answers (animal and human) in this book to that question.
You Are My Miracle by Maryann K. Cusimano Love
This gentle Christmastime tale makes an appearance throughout the Holiday Months. I especially like the line “You are my Noel” which sings to my heart about my reasons for the season.
The Night Pirates And last my favorite children’s Pirate story. With just enough adventure to make it a fun read and a gentle ending to make it work as a bedtime story. I am tickled ever time we read this one at the laughter at the illustration of the ending.
