I have made it a top priority to read to Stella everday....basically starting since we left the hospital and took her home with us! I read 4 books every morning, a couple in the afternoon and 3 at bedtime. I LOVE reading bedtime books to her, she is so into it and it relaxes her, and we have 3 favorites that we read. One is a Sandra Boynton book, I enjoy her entire collection, called 'The Going To Bed Book'. I love the rhyming and cute characters she has in her books. This was given to Stella as a gift, but I have bought the rest of her collection at TJ MAXX, very inexpensive. 'I'll See You In The Morning', written by Mike Jolly and illustrated by Mique Mariuchi, is uniquely illustrated and Stella can't keep her hands off of the pages. This book is available at babies-r-us and has the best price. The one we end the night with is 'I Love You, Good Night' by Jon Buller and Susan Schade and illustrated by Bernadette Pons. The illustrations in this book don't grab Stellas attention like 'I'll See You In The Morning', but something about this book makes her smile the entire time. I also purchased this one at TJ MAXX, they are constantly getting new books in and they are very inexpensive. If you have a bedtime book that you like to read to your little, let me know. I am always looking for new ones!
