“Mama cradles her child in the streaming moonlight–then a kiss and a prayer and a snuggly good night,” Patricia Reeder Eubank rhymes at the end of her children’s book, Bedtime Snuggles.

~ What ~
This twenty-two-page board book with rounded edges targets children ages two to four years old. With no scary scenes, it focuses on farm animals getting ready for bed and snuggling. Detailed and charming full-color illustrations grace the pages with easy-to-read font size.

In this cute story, farm animals are ready to call it a day and head to bed. Baby chicks, bunnies, a colt, raccoons, mice, lambs, foxes, owlets, and a child are hugged and snuggled with as their mothers tuck them in bed at the end of the day.

~Why ~
This is a nice tale to read to a young child who loves to look at animals that live on a farm and how they go to bed. I loved the artwork as it is well done and engaging for a toddler to view. It is thoughtful that the dog and puppy are in almost all of the opened pages so can be searched and pointed out by a young observer.

~ Why Not ~
Those who do not like books that mention prayer may not like this one, but there is only one reference and it does not state to pray to God. Others may find the two and three-syllable words too hard for beginner readers, yet it is geared toward toddlers.

~ Wish ~
I wish this book had illustrations that included fathers as mothers are mentioned all but one time.

~ Want ~
If you are looking for a lovely bedtime read for a preschooler, this one that promotes cuddling and snuggling will help relax and calm a little one as they drift off to sleep.
