*Why I wanted to purchase a bedtime book* My daughter is two and a half and loves books, she has many books and always brings me many books a day to read to her. She loves to listen and pretend she is reading as well as looking at the pictures, while learning new phrases and words. My daughter has been in her big bed now for three weeks and I decided this was a great opportunity to read her a bedtime book; it relaxes her and also me after a long hard day. It is also a great routine and she knows after the book has been read it is then cuddles, kisses and lights out. It has been reported that ... more
