No kid ever willingly wants to go to bed, but a good story can rarely be stopped after only one page. This book uses a child's own curiosity to convince them to get into bed, and just maybe, to fall asleep.
The unique thing about Don't Turn the Page it that it has a story within a story. When you get to the end, the two stories come together in a pretty cool way.
I very much liked the illustrations in the book. The colors are muted, and this is very good if you are trying to get your child to calm down. The hedgehogs are cute, and though my son wondered why they had "sharp needles" on their backs, I think on the whole he was not threatened by them.
I think what's cool is that you could read either part of this story separately as it's own bedtime story, but reading it as a whole will help your child with their bedtime routine. My son is nearly six, so it's getting hard to trick him into doing things. I would recommend this story for younger children, around 3-4.

This was a good book about getting ready for bedtime. A little hedgehog is curious to know how a little bear gets ready for bed, at the same time a little bear is reading about how a hedgehog gets ready for bed! This was a cute book with some winks to the reader. The Illustrations are especially cute! ~Ashley

I liked the idea, but the execution just didn't do it for me.

We got this book of the library for my nieces because of the reviews on Goodreads and my nieces loved it so much, I just ordered them their own copy. The girls have definite opinions on books and this one became a quick favorite, though I think the library will be happy to have their copy back.

I enjoy reading books about reading. This one is particularly special because the hedgehog family is reading a book about bears. The bear family in the book that hedgehog is reading is reading Don't Turn the Page. A book within a book and very well-done.
