Review Detail

BEDTIME BLITZ! is a delightful celebration of getting ready for bed. The story is told in a rhyming poem as animals rush to get ready in the bedtime blitz! They brush teeth, take a bath, put on pajamas, and more as they head towards bedtime. Pull tabs on most pages add to the fun with some interactive elements.

What I loved: This is a clever and fun poetic text that rhymes throughout. This makes it slide off the tongue and sound fantastic when read aloud. Getting ready for bed can be tough for little ones, as they may not always enjoy the process. This book celebrates the rush for bedtime and all the things that must be done along the way, encouraging little ones to enjoy their process too - in the bedtime blitz! The animals are expressive and full of fun throughout, with great detail and use of muted colors that work perfectly at bedtime. While the text is high energy, it is overwhelmingly positive and leads to sleep, so it would work very well for a bedtime pick.

The pull tabs are great, and the book is very thick to go around them. The actions that happen when the tabs are pulled are enclosed in plastic, which makes them stand up to rougher little fingers. They are all very clever actions showing the bed time steps, such as making an animal move the toothbrush over their teeth. These are perfect for toddlers who love to play with their books. Combined with the rhymes and the length, this is really designed well for toddlers and preschoolers.

Final verdict: A delightful celebration of the bedtime process, BEDTIME BLITZ! is an interactive board book that combines rhymes and charming animals to encourage young readers to enjoy the getting ready process. Highly recommend for toddlers and preschoolers!
