Welcome
to the Preschool Book Nook, an informative place invoking
those book-filled, cozy corners in classrooms and
libraries.
Nap
time is nice for preschoolers—and even nicer for the
teachers who keep up with them! Soothing bedtime books
are perfect for nap time too. The stories—both familiar
and unfamiliar—engage the youngest of readers and
make them feel safe. The dreamy illustrations spark
the imagination and get kids ready for sweet dreams.
Dreamy
Fun!

Rediscover The
Random House Book of Bedtime Stories, now
back in print to delight a whole new generation of
youngsters. This collection of 21 stories includes
tried-and-true standbys such as Goldilocks and
the Three Bears, Peter Rabbit , and The Gingerbread
Man , alongside unexpected gems from Oscar Wilde,
Rudyard Kipling, Margaret Wise Brown, and many others.
Read a story from the collection aloud each day before
nap time.
•
Lead a class discussion
about bedtime rituals. What do students do before
getting into bed? What do they wear to sleep? Who
tucks them in? Do they have a favorite story or song
that they like to hear at night? Have students draw
pictures of themselves doing a pre-bedtime ritual.
•
Talk to students about
why sleep is important for our health. How do students
feel when they don’t get a good night’s sleep? What
else can we do to stay healthy?
•
Host a class pajama party
and read favorite bedtime stories aloud to your students.
Have students bring in a stuffed animal, blanket,
or other bedtime memento to share with the class.
