If you watch my Insta-stories, then you know that bedtime is my very favorite. Madeline and I have a tradition of reading stories in her chair every night before she goes to bed. The amount of books will vary depending on the evening, however, we make it a point to read at least two books a night. She gets to choose which stuffed animal joins us for the evening, and I will always cherish this special quiet time together. Although we read a variety of stories, here are Mommy and Madeline’s current favorite books for bedtime:
How To Tuck In Your Sleepy Lion – This is the newest book in our collection, and Madeline is quite fond of it (link HERE). We also have one that talks about brushing teeth, which is super adorable too.
Night-Night, Little Pookie – I found this book for Madeline when I was pregnant, and she STILL loves it (link HERE)! There are multiple books in this series that we love, but this is our favorite for bedtime.
Love Is You & Me – This one is not necessarily a bedtime themed book, but it is my absolute FAVORITE (link HERE)! It is so sweet, so it will always be on my lists of favorite books for children. If you only get one book from this list, then this is the one that I recommend the highest. 🙂
Llama Llama Nighty Night – There is no doubt about it. Madeline absolutely LOVES the Llama Llama books (link HERE). She has a ton of them, and always refers to them as her “mama mama” books. 🙂
Kisses and Cuddles – This one was has been featured on my other “best of” lists before (link HERE). It is a super cute story about a little penguin and his mama and is absolutely precious!
