Nancy I. Sanders is one of my favorite children’s book authors. She’s a bestselling and award-winning author of over 100 books.

Sanders states on her website that her favorite topics to write about are God, Bible stories, educational subjects, African American history, and Jane Austen.

About BEDTIME WITH MOMMY

BEDTIME WITH MOMMY is a fun twist on bedtime routines. Animals around the world portray what children and their mommies do and say at bedtime.

Polar bears in the Artic read a bedtime story and say a bedtime prayer. Panda bears share a bedtime snack in the forest before reading a peaceful Psalm. These are followed by six more animal scenes.

The lyrical text includes snuggles with favorite blankets, goodnight kisses, and bedtime prayers. Children will smile as they imagine young animals putting away their toys, brushing their teeth, and putting on their jammies!

Then, there’s a perfect ending showing a human mommy tucking her little one into bed. Nestled beside the child are stuffed animals similar to two of the animals mentioned in the story. The mother and her child sing a favorite hymn together and end with what the animals in the story did—a hug, a kiss, a snuggle, and a prayer.

The Illustrations

Wow. Felia Hanakata did an amazing job illustrating this precious book. The soft colored pictures of mommy animals holding and caring for their young ones in their natural habitats are sure to warm the hearts of children.

Hanakata’s details of eight different animals from around the world are delightful. They convey the same sense of loving care and happiness as portrayed in the last scene of the mother tucking her child into bed.

My Recommendation

I highly recommend the board book, BEDTIME WITH MOMMY, for children ages five and under. It’s an enjoyable and soothing bedtime book.

Also, I appreciate how this book includes prayers to God thanking Him for mommies and for His love and protection.

BEDTIME WITH MOMMY is a wonderful way to end the day.
