Ten books for the end of the day.

This 10-book collection is built around bedtime: the wind-down, the settling, the last story before lights out. The books are calm and rhythmic, with the kind of repetition that lets a tired child join in, and several of them deal directly with the child who doesn't want to go to sleep.

Frequently asked questions about the Goodnight, Sleep Tight collection

What books are in the Goodnight, Sleep Tight collection?

Ten titles: Yawn, Mission: Bedtime, Wide Awake Wolf, Balloon to the Moon, All Aboard the Bedtime Bus, Goodnight Toucan, The Bedtime Book, Waiting for the Stars, All the Wonderful Ways to Read and The Home That Love Built.

What age are these bedtime books for?

Around 2 to 6. The rhyming titles suit the youngest children; Waiting for the Stars and The Home That Love Built carry through to school age.

What makes a good bedtime book for a toddler?

Something short, rhythmic and predictable. Repetition lets a tired child join in without effort, a familiar structure signals that the day is ending, and a calm ending matters more than an exciting one. Books that name the not-wanting-to-sleep feeling — like Wide Awake Wolf — can help a child who resists bedtime feel understood rather than told off.

Does reading at bedtime help children sleep?

A consistent wind-down routine is widely recommended by child health services, and a shared book is one of the simplest ways to build one. The books themselves aren't a sleep treatment, they're a way to make the routine easy to keep.

Are these suitable for childcare centres to gift to families?

Yes. Australian early learning services buy this set for end-of-year and graduation gifting, precisely because these are books that get used at home.
