Amazon.com Review:
For a little one who is reluctant to go to bed, sometimes a silly book is just the ticket. And when it comes to silly books, Sandra Boynton is the undisputed queen. In The Going to Bed Book, an ark full of animals watches the sun go down and then prepares for bed. They take a bath ("in one big tub"), find pajamas, brush their teeth, do exercises up on deck (imagine an elephant jumping rope, a moose lifting weights, and a pig doing handstands), and finally say good night.
Product Description:
Serious silliness for all ages. Artist Sandra Boynton is back and better than ever with completely redrawnversions of her multi-million selling board books. These whimsical and hilarious books, featuringnontraditional texts and her famous animal characters, have been printed on thick board pages,and are sure to educate and entertain children of all ages.

The moon is high. The sea is deep.Boynton's inimitable animal characters have graced the pages of scads of picture books over the years. She has an extraordinary knack for knowing what appeals to small children: simple rhymes, goofy animals in goofy settings, and sweet, comforting stories. This book, along with her many other board-book titles (Moo, Baa, La La La!, But Not the Hippopotamus, and others) will surely remain a favorite. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

- Imaginative. Fun. Educational.
What else is there to say? I love it. My baby loves it! The rhythm and rhyme just lull you right to sleep, and the importance of nightly tasks become a joy rather than a task. Highly recommended!

- Remember to exercise before bed
I had high expectations for this book because people who bought it also bough the great Pat the Bunny.
If you're considering buying this book you should be aware that: (1) you may have some trouble recognizing naming all of the animals for your curious baby; (2) you may have to decide whether or not the animals are on Noah's Ark and if not where they are; (3) you may have to explain that exercising is not a pre-bedtime activity...the animals are just being silly...or animals can exercise ...

Rating: - toddler loves and mom does too!
We read this at least three times a week at bedtime. I never get tired of reading it and my 14 month old loves the pictures. Very creative and engaging, a must have for bedtime.

Sandra Boynton has left her mark on the children's book industry and this is a great example of why she's been so successful.The story and illustrations just appeal to kids and there's no secret that this is her formula.Make going to bed fun and maybe, just maybe, it won't be such a chore!
Another bedtime story I'd recommend is Ladybug Baby Bug, by Janice and Mark Perkins, because of its similar qualities.
Rating: - Very cute book
I love Sandra Boynton. I love the illustrated characters, the simple rhymes and so, evidently, do children. The Going to Bed Bed Book looked perfect for my toddler at bed time, so I couldn't resist picking it up recently at a local bookstore. The board-book format means less destruction, so if you can just keep 'em from chewing it, the book should last a long time.
The short rhyming story follows the adorable cartoon characters as they go through their bedtime routine. They take their baths, ... Read More
