Reviews for Time for Bed, Sleepyhead

I found this book to be quite enjoyable. I found it easy to read and I feel it would keep the little ones entertained. If you are in need of another nice book to help your little ones fall asleep this would be a good addition to the "bedtime" bookshelf.

Dr. Daniel Amen is an expert on how the brain works. He used his knowledge and expertise with his own child when putting her to bed. Those years of success have been translated into a beautifully illustrated children’s book, Time for Bed, Sleepyhead. Though all my children are grown, I remember well the struggle bedtime could be. With little minds full of questions, images and sometimes anxiety, it could be daunting to get them to go to sleep. Amen’s book works to tire out a child’s imagination while slowly bringing them to a state of rest. And while I can’t vouch for its effectiveness (though I did find myself yawning while reading it? ), the book does provide a great way for parents to spend time with their kids before the lights go out.Recommended.Audience: children.(Thanks to Zonderkidz for a review copy.
