Time for a Nap - Cozy Bedtime Story Book for Kids | Snuggle Time Stories Series #9 | Perfect for Preschoolers' Bedtime Routine & Parent-Child Bonding

Great book which became an indispensable part of our naptime routine.The book is about a little bunny and his mother, showing their busy week and how the bunny naps each day. We bought this book when our daughter was 6 months old and she immediately took a liking to it and now at nearly 8 months squeals with every page as she does with all her favorite books.Reading some negative reviews about this book on amazon, made me unsure if I should buy it - a concern of others was that the bunny in the book supposedly is reluctant to nap and the book does not explain why a nap is helpful. However, I did not find that to be the case.In fact, since the book follows the bunny throughout the week and the naps look different each day, I think it's great for children to identify themselves with the bunny (or to talk about these differences) - some days napping is easy, other days there is some fussing, yet other days they don't want to nap at all. But the bunny eventually always naps, which is great. Some days napping is in the stroller, other days on a blanket, on mommy or in bed (I like that it shows this variety of napping).I also think, the text provides reasons why it's good to nap in simple child-friendly language "Tired, cranky. Bunny, blankie!" Or our favorite one "Too tired to jump. No zip, no zap. What time is it? Time for a nap!" Generally, the text is absolutely adorable with a great rhythm.For us this book works perfectly and I would highly recommend it - it's definitely in our top 10.I do want to point out that the book is quite long, especially for a napping book. Longer books are usually no problem for our little one. But I could imagine how a baby or younger child that gets very cranky around nap time or doesn't have the attention span for longer books yet, this might just be too much. However, since all days of the week are displayed - it could still be read in smaller portions. When our daughter has a bad day, I only read part of the story to her and the book still works it's naptime magic on her. The nice thing is that the catch phrase "What time is it? Time for a nap!" Is always repeated for each day (a total of 5 times due to Thursday/Friday and Saturday/Sunday being combined) and so it is easy to just stop after that phrase. In fact, this phrase is so catchy that I already "prepare" our daughter for the upcoming nap time while I clean her or while she plays by saying it and it always makes her giggle even when she is already yawning or rubbing her eyes.
