Looking for a good bed-time story that is not scary for infants, but relaxing enough for them to be able to fall asleep afterwards? My Danielle Must Read for bed-time is Good Night Max. I remember as a little girl my mother reading these books to me. There were also TV shows based on Max that your children can watch as well. This silly board book tries to get Max to bed. But so many things happen! Why can't he fall asleep? Read Good Night Max to find out if he can get through the night!
I give this book a solid 9 out of 10. I am 21 years old and I was even laughing at all of Max's terrible events that happened to him before bed-time. What is even better about this book? IT IS INTERACTIVE! Each page has a different fabric for something to touch. On some pages there are shiny pictures, which is so exciting for little infants. They will be in awe as you read them this silly tale of Max. The book is small enough for a child to hold if they please and the book is easy to follow for them. The book also accentuates words that when you are reading it, you can accentuate as you are reading. This is a book that you could read to them every night and they will still have a fun time reading it. Please get Good Night Max at a local library near you!

Danielle, Goodnight Max is another book that I remember when I was little. It does give a sense of humor with all of the things that he does before bed and there is a good moral to the story for the children to understand.
ReplyDeleteI agree! The colors and the things kids can touch really do also add a sense of humor to the story and excitement for kids! I felt this was a story I could read to my kids someday.
ReplyDeleteWewwh, maybe I am getting old, but I cannot read the blue text here very well. Can you avoid using this color?
ReplyDeleteI changed the colors of this blog so it is easier to read! I just found out how to update a blog post so I hope this helps! I will keep this in mind from now on.
