Really Woolly Bedtime Blessings By DaySpring and Bonnie Rickner Jensen Published by Thomas Nelson

My thoughts:  Consistent with prior publications of the Really Woolly children's books, Really Woolly Bedtime Blessings is a charmer. Complete with joyfully sweet little critters that frolic their way across the pages and have their hearts and minds turned toward God's love for them just prior to going to sleep for the night.

The rhymes are not perfectly in sync with standard structure, but they are certainly sufficient for the young listener. In fact, the simple rhyming of words and a bit of good cadence thrown in here and there goes a long way when the child is very young to prepare him for embracing rigorous poetry later in their educational years.

Some of the "Blessings" captured my own heart and mind better than others but they are all certainly true gold in value for your little one. I'll share "Heavenly Blessings"......

May God keep you smiling

From ear-to-ear.

Ma God keep you brave

Whenever you fear.

May God bless your friendships

With kindness and love.

May God bless your dreams

From heaven above.

I like this because it 1) teaches joyfulness, 2) God's provision to be with you when you are afraid, 3) God blessing friendships with love, and God blessing one's dreams (night-time dreams of dreams of what they will be in the future).

The "bolded" worlds are typical of each rhyme in that they are words to emphasize when reading to the child and also on which to focus one's attention and perhaps lead to discussion.

I highly recommend this Bedtime Blessings for homes with young children, kindergarten and daycare book collections, church libraries, and Christian schools.

About the book: Your children will go to sleep feeling loved and secure as they count the blessings in each day.

When it's time to tuck toddlers in for the night, this adorable board book from beloved the Really Woolly brand points out the blessings God so richly provides. With the knowledge they are loved and blessed, your little ones will fall fast asleep comforted and secure. Sweet rhymes, scriptures, and bedtime blessings encourage children to thank God for all the day's blessings!
