Free Spirit Publishing Naptime

I was looking for book’s specifically about napping for my son and everything online gave night time books. I stumbled upon this book and it is so cute! The pictures are nice and it is very colourful. The story is also cute and teaches kids why it is important to rest. This will be in our regular nap time routines. Would recommend.

O livro é excelente, no entanto o comprador demorou muito pra enviar, 2 meses depois que eu fiz o pedido. Chegou depois da data que eu queria. Só não cancelei o pedido, pq não consegui.

Compré este libro para incluirlo en la rutina de siestas y a mi hijo le encanta. Siempre lo leemos antes de su siesta y le ha ayudado a asociar el descansar con algo positivo. Ojo, no es ciencia nuclear, es un libro muy sencillo que describe de forma agradable algo cotidiano.

Our son loves this book and consistently chooses it for his pre-nap story. Not sure if it's really helped with naptime, but he loves the interactive parts, the rhyming text and the illustrations.

I love these books!Somehow, my 2 year old takes the lessons less personally when we read about it in the books. We have the sharing, calm down time, hands are not for hitting and now this book in the series. The books are simply stated so that a 2 year old can understand. They are vague enough that they apply to most children and situations. A bonus, the colors and patterns are vintage/nostalgic and fun to look at.When I tell him it's nap time, he gets very defensive and argumentative. So, my strategy has changed. Now, we sit down to read this book. The mommy in the book tells the boy it's nap time. My son can see how the little boy in the book responds and naps nicely. I can then lay him down and tell him to nap nicely like the boy in the book.We've taken a cue from the books and differentiated nap time, bed time, and "calm down time". My son still naps in the morning, but has given up his afternoon sleep. However, he still gets tired and needs to rest in the afternoons. The "calm down time" book has helped demonstrate what it means, to have alone time and rest (without having it be punishment or "time out". I highly recommend that book, too.
