Like Stevie, my grandsons' minds are buzzing with activities they still want to do. By reading this book that if full of activities they will be doing these activities in their imaginations and this will allow them to wind down. I will purchase a copy of this book for my grandsons.![]()

Hi Stephen! Thank you for your comment. It is a magical moment with kids. I find these books great for adults too. They help me to slow down and see the world with different eyes.Stephen Christopher 1 wrote: ↑22 Mar 2024, 00:19 Hi Cristiano, I'm not a parent and don't see 'bedtime stories' anywhere in my near future, lol. This does sound like the perfect book to help restless kids get to sleep, I can definitely see its appeal. Thanks for the awesome review.

Thanks for your comment. I am getting addicted to Stevie Tenderheart books. I read 3 of them and I liked them all. They teach nice approaches to kids. I like to discuss them with my son. I am sure it would be the same for you and your daughter.Prohlife Jobs wrote: ↑22 Mar 2024, 06:00 The cover of the book confused me a bit: both because I could not immediately see the full picture, and I tried to figure out how it fit in with the story. It sounds like a wonderful children's story though. I would love to get my hands on one for my daughter.
