Sweet family story for bedtime. Girl has a stuffed animal she takes everywhere and cant wait to be read too. Fall asleep fast with this calming family and sweet little girl.
This book is very good for connecting with very young children who are just now becoming proficient readers. It displays to them an example of how they believe parents should interact with them. Since it is a Realistic Fiction Book, it is easier for kids to try to imitate the protagonist who does what most other kids will in some point of their life do. For this reason, children have an easier time relating to these sorts of books.
