Rabbit's Bedtime Spanish/English

This is a very calming book for small children, a good way for them to review their day before putting it to rest, and then their bodies to rest. There is time for play, time for singing, time for saying thank you, etc. I originally bought this book for my niece, age 3, who just moved here from So. America and is learning both Spanish and English at the same time. But I made the "mistake" of reading it to my 3 yr. old granddaughter; she cried when I sent it to someone else. Guess who is buying another copy?

A new bedtime classic to rival Goodnight Moon

This simple and beautiful bedtime story begins with the mother rabbit tucking in her little one and asking "What was good about today?". With simple text and lovely collage illustrations the rabbit's day is recalled. The little rabbit's day is a study in balance with time for work, play, music, dance, painting, time with friends and time alone, etc. At the end the question "What was good about today?" repeats and is answered with "A lot of things I would say".My kids (ages 3 and 22 months) both love this story and insist on hearing it every night. It has sturdy carboard pages that they can turn themselves (but it is not a true board book). Our 3 year old attends a Waldorf preschool and the rabbit's day reminds me of the rhythm of her preschool day so much that I am planning on buying a copy of this book for each of her classmates. This book would make a great baby gift which I think could be enjoyed from birth to age 5 or 6.
