Am I the only one who has those moments?

Sometimes I feel like a Kindermusik superstar. At other times I sing the ABC’s and the days of the week and tuck them in.

To avoid those “drawing a blank” moments, I highly recommend The Goodnight Book for Moms and Little Ones from Welcome Books. (It’s great for dads too, but isn’t named for them…yet.)

The Goodnight Book for Moms and Little Ones includes:
Literary Excerpts: Ten excerpts relating to sleep, stars, and dreams from beloved children’s classics. In Charlotte’s Web, Charlotte sings Wilbur to sleep; in Mary Poppins, Mary glues stars to the sky; and in James and the Giant Peach, James falls asleep in the web hammock under the soft light of a glowworm.
Tales & Legends: Fourteen stories from Sleeping Beauty and Rip Van Winkle to creation tales of the moon and stars from different cultures.
Songs: Ten songs and lullabies, including “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” “Goodnight” by Lennon and McCartney, and “Hush, Little Baby.”
Poetry: Fourteen poems, including “The Land of Nod” by Robert Louis Stevenson, “Is the Moon Tired?” by Christina Rossetti, and “Afraid of the Dark” by Shel Silverstein.
Activities: Twenty activities to make bedtime easier (sleep-inducing sachets, clothespin guardian angels, relaxation exercises) and enjoyable (glow-in-the-dark sleep shirt, galactic mobile, hibernating beanbag bear).
Recipes: Twelve recipes combining soothing ingredients for dinners and before bedtime snacks as well as dreamy sweets like Full Moon Cookies, Overnight Surprise Cookies, and Soothing Smoothies.
Prayers: Ten bedtime prayers from various cultures and faiths.

What a wonderful baby gift this book would be for a new mama!
