This is the newest addition to our growing library. Time for Bed is written by Mem Fox. This book starts with a mother reading to her child, with every turn of the page other "animal" parent bids goodnight to their young. The book ends with the child asleep. This book incorporates a broad variety of animals from the familiar warm and fuzzy domesticated animals (cat, dog and cow) and wildlife (fish, snake and bee). I love this book for its lyrical rhythmic verses and beautiful realistic illustrations. A lovely gentle book and a perfect read to slow down the pace just before bed.
Mem Fox, is a well know writer of childrens' books such as Possum Magic and Hattie and the Fox (which I remember from when I was a little girl.) We also own two of her other books Where is the Green Sheep and Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes. Kylie at How we Montessori reviewed Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes and I agree with all her comments. Like her I love the global feel of Ten Little Fingers. You can read her review here.
