Don't Close Your Eyes: A Silly Bedtime Story by Mark Chambers, Bob Hostetler

meezcarrie's review against another edition

4.0

Silly and lilting and adorable in every way, this new children’s book from Bob Hostetler is sure to be a hit with children and parents alike! With clever reverse psychology, the cute rhymes beg children to keep those eyes open when, of course, the goal is to actually get them to fall asleep. Hostetler’s words (and wit) and Chambers’ whimsical illustrations follow the natural world (moon, stars, animals, etc.) as they settle down to sleep, creating a soothing speech pattern that lulls children to dreamland. It might be a ‘silly bedtime story’, but it’s also creative, fun, and intentional. A must-have for every child’s book collection… and one that parents may find themselves even after their kiddos have long gone to sleep.

Don't Close Your Eyes - A Silly Bedtime Story by Bob Hostetler is just that a silly bedtime story your children will cherish for years to come. This sweet little board book is filled with so many baby animals trying to nod off, but being told by their mama's not to close their eyes. "But if you really think you must, then close your eyes real tight, and dream a dream of me because I dream of you each night" I received this book free from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers book review program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
