Don't Close Your Eyes


Don't Close Your Eyes ~ A Silly Bedtime Story by Bob Hostetler is a whimsical story that all parents will truly relate to. This book is by Tommy Nelson Publishers. It is a board book. The book is 20 pages in length. The pictures are vivid and rich in color to keep your young child's attention. The target age for this book is preschool and up. 

How often do we hear the words, "But I am not tired.", when it is time for bedtime? Your child can be having a full-blown meltdown, yawning, and barely be keeping their eyes open but still resist sleep. This book is all about convincing your child to keep their eyes open. As the sun is going down and the moon is rising, all of the animal friends are nesting down for the night. The gophers are gophers out. Pigs are sleeping tail to snout. But whatever you do, don't close your eyes. 


This book reminds me of how Jane and Michael in Mary Poppins are determined to stay awake because they are not tired. Mary Poppins begins singing and they fall fast asleep. This book too may just be the magic that is needed to get your little ones to settle into their beds and close their little eyes just like the animals in the book.
