Bedtime Stories: Can't You Sleep Little Bear

The last of our bedtime stories series is this week and we are finishing with 'Can't You Sleep Little Bear' by Martin Waddell.

We have two copies of it. Can I find one? Nope! (We have a lot of books and Kit likes to 'read' them himself so they don't get put back where they should be!) So no picture this week, you'll have to head for the library or your local (independent) bookshop (there is a lovely one in Beckenham for any locals!) and look for it to see the pictures!

Bedtime Stories: The Lorax

We love Dr Seuss in this house. From early on Kit has enjoyed the rhymes (much to his Nanny's despair as he kept bringing her the most difficult books to read!) The Lorax is such a great book we have two copies of it!! One is an abridged version in a board book and the other is the full version as part of a Dr Seuss story book. Either version is great, it just depends how lazy I am feeling!

Bedtime Stories: The Midnight Ride of Thomas the Tank Engine

This weeks Thomas the Tank Engine story just happened to coincide with an extremely generous gesture from Kit's half-brother. Kit's dad has two kids from a previous marriage, and we always try to pop over to see them whenever he has them for the weekend, they are lovely kids and it's nice to spend time with them. This weekend when we went over his son (who is now 9) generously (without having been asked) gave Kit a set of 30 Thomas the Tank Engine stories which he had from when he was younger. I'd imagine that we'll be having lots more Thomas-related bedtime stories from now on. Thank you big bro!

Bedtime Stories: One Snowy Night

I've probably shown in previous post how important I feel books and stories are to helping your little ones grow, but I thought I'd hammer it home a bit more! :)
