(Closed) Little One Books Review/Giveaway Ends 2/23


I've found a gem among online children's book stores to share with you! With a unique approach and ease to finding age appropriate books, music, and videos for young children, Little One Books is in a league of its own. Started by Joan McCoy and Barney Cohen, who saw a need in the area children's media, Little One Books takes the guesswork out of what to buy. Just like myself, they were overwhelmed with the amount of products out there for young children. By focusing on such a specific age range, they are able to ensure that each book they carry is hand-picked and won't be "too young" or "too old" for your child. Here's a tidbit from their website...

We carry only the best in children's books, music, and videos from birth through age five. All our products have been personally chosen and review by our team. With the help of child development professionals, we have matched each product to the youngest appropriate age. We will provide you with excellent customer service, and we are always interested in your feedback. We hope you enjoy shopping with us.

-Joan and Barney
 
Upon learning I could choose any book from Little One Books to review, I headed straight for one about going to bed. There has always been a recurring issue for Buddy....SLEEP! We've tried so many methods to get him to calm down before bed, fall asleep faster, sleep by himself........the list goes on. It seems this was not meant to be easy with this child! So, any tool that will aid in this daily struggle is welcomed in this house.

First, I easily narrowed down the books by age group. After choosing the 2 year-old range, I browsed through. Then, Song of Night: It's Time to Go to Bed came up! I was sold! I already knew that this book would be age appropriate for my son. Little One Books already did the research for me and put it in a category specific to my son's age group! How awesome is that?


Song of Night: It's Time to Go to Bed  was written by Katherine Riley Nakamura, and illustrated by Linnea Riley. I am super impressed with how spot on Little One Books is with this book's age group. Short, simple sentences. Easy to understand, and perfect for a 2 year-old! Each page is beautifully illustrated with a different type of animal and scene. The theme of going to bed was reiterated on each page. The little bunny needs to get ready for bedtime just like the duckling, mouse, dog, cat, skunk, bear, and squirrel. The book goes through taking a bath, brushing teeth, singing, reading, a back rub and humming as the animals get ready for bed. It's so cute!


With a little rhyming of words along the way, Buddy was mesmorized and kept asking "What's this!?" as every page turned. I'm hoping soon that he'll start to say "Me too!," and go to bed just as easy as those animals in the book!

The Verdict! Overall, I am very impressed with this high-quality book and would definitely recommend it to every parent. As for Little One Books, I love their dedication to finding the best products for children. They have an amazing selection of wonderful products you should check out for yourself!

They have some great titles. You can tell that they were carefully chosen to be fun and educational, NOT just a bunch of books that look like they could make a little money from.

I would have a very hard (yet fun!) time choosing how to spend the GC. "Sheep in a Jeep" is one book I'd like. "The Little Engine That Could" is another. So many to choose from...

I would definitely love to win some 'stuff for mommy.' It seems I am always entering to win things for my family, friends, and even dogs but very seldom to I take the time to enter to win things for myself, or actually to even buy things for myself either. I'm sure I'm not the only mom that way either. Maybe some type of clothes or shoes for mommy to win? I'm not good under pressure. I'll think of tons of stuff after I'm done here. Lol. Thanks for this chance to offer our opinion though. Hopefully other moms aren't bad on questions like this like I am.
