My daughter M’s current bedtime favorite is Where, Oh Where is Huggle Buggle Bear? It’s about a little boy who can’t find his favorite soft toy and simply can’t go to bed without him. He looks for him everywhere as he goes about his bedtime ritual. But, Huggle Buggle Bear and his other friends always play a game of hide-and-seek at bedtime. As you and your baby help the little boy find his favorite bear, she’ll have a great time spotting and pointing out to the hidden animals in each room, even as she tries to stifle a giggle, lest she give away the secret hiding place. There’s something about the cadence of the lines, the names of the stuffed animals and the sequence of events in the book that is sure to elicit a sleepy yawn from your active little one who doesn’t agree that it’s bed time just yet. Turn the pages with your baby for a pleasant surprise at the end.
