Our review:
Snowy clouds, a lollipop bear, a turtle brushing his beak, ducks in mushroom houses, and the glittery bedtime bus—a whimsical combination, perfect for preparing little ones for bed and gently lulling them into a land of sweet dreams.
The story takes children through a bedtime routine likely familiar to most: bath, brushing teeth, storytime, dimming the lights, and snuggling down to snooze. This routine is mirrored in a bus journey powered by bubbles, passing by colourful homes and enchanting environments. With gentle, calming rhymes and soft illustrations, the book conjures up dreamy images of stars, bubbles, clouds, and fluffy blankets.
All Aboard The Bedtime Bus is an ideal read for preschoolers before nap time or bedtime, helping their eyes grow droopy and guiding them into a tranquil slumber.
