Baby Bedtime by Mem Fox

Only show reviews with written explanations

Soft acrylic illustrations in purple, blues, and yellows, accompany this sweet Mem Fox text about a mother elephant putting her baby elephant to bed. Such lines as, "I can gobble up your toes," and "I could gaze at you all night," add to the authentic feel of this loving nightly routine between mother and child. Toddler and preschoolers will love to listen to this book especially if the caregiver acts it out with them. In the end, Mama Elephant tucks in her adorable young one with, "a kiss upon your brow."

I adore this charming bedtime story from Mem Fox and Emma Quay. Simple text ("I could eat your little ears. I could nibble on your nose.") create a soothing rhythm, while the soft color palette and sweet illustrations exude warmth and comfort. Recommended.

This book is simple, but so sweet. I love the illustrations of the baby elephant. A rhyming bedtime book for little ones. Really lovely. Might use for a bedtime books display? 2+
