Bedtime Book Reviews
This blog aims to provide a resource for parents to choose good bedtime stories to read to their children. I enjoy reading to my child every night but got frustrated with our collection or short little kid's books that were over before his eyes were even closed. So we went to the library - but where to begin? As he entered Kindergarten I decided that we would work our way through all the Newbery Medal winners beginning with the first book in 1922.
