excellent for parents & kids alike

Although this book's stories are all contained in "funniest book ever", the format (smaller, less pictures/page, less words/page) is easier for young children to follow. My son & I both love this book. It doesn't get old for me despite sometimes having to read it over & over in a day. It's also easy to cut storytime shorter, if need be, because the book is divided into "chapters" (individual stories) as opposed to one long book. Excellent choice for bedtime!

Good short stories, but has nothing to do with bedtime.

This book is a nice collection of short stories, but none of the stories have a thing to do with falling asleep. Buy this book because you want more of Richard Scarry's wonderful stories, not because you want to soothe your child to sleep. I myself feel let down because I thought I was buying stories to put my child to sleep to.

My son (3 and 1/2) loves these stories, however...

Great stories with great characters, but if you've already purchased "Funniest Stories Ever..." then don't bother with "Bedtime Stories" because "Bedtime..." merely contains a subset of the stories found in "Funniest", with no new material what-so-ever. This was needless to say rather disappointing to find out, following the online purchase.

Richard Scarry's Bedtime Stories
|
|
This is a delightful books for young readers -- it falls in the 4-8 age range, but is probably more appropriate for 3-5 age range. Some of our favorite characters, Lowly, Huckle and friends ease younger sleepers into sleep. It was particularly helpful in lulling to sleep a newly-minted older brother who was eager not to miss any of his new baby's "action." Richard Scarry is wonderful at that!
