Customer Reviews

Good bedtime reading

Mama and baby both enjoy this book and hsve made it an integral part of their bedtime routine

Great children's book with retro images

Hildegarde Ford's "My Go to Bed Book" is a treasure, as are Mary Win's illustrations. This book hearkens to an earlier era, and I love its simplicity and style. Each illustration is a beauty, and it illustrates too a loving relationship between the mother in the story and the child. The fact this book was originally published so long ago is amazing, as children still enjoy it today.

Charming

A wonderful, timeless book. Perfect, soothing bedtime fare for any young child. This should be on every nightstand to read again and again.

Classic

The book is a classic and one you must have in your kid's book basket. It's one of those that take you back to a simpler time in life, yet you feel like you can capture a little bit of that as you read the book to your child. My kids love to get lost in the pictures as they imagine what is happening, which always leads to great questions like, "what is she doing?"

A simpler time.....

One of the many joys of parenting is the sharing of wonderful memories from our own childhood with our children. Reading books at bedtime that connect us both to our children and to our past is a simple but extremely rewarding experience. I am so pleased to see that this treasure is once more available for a new generation of parents and children.
