"A playful way to establish a bedtime routine."
March 2026 Book of the Month
It’s way past Rex the little dinosaur’s bedtime but he’s definitely not sleepy. Fortunately his (presumably older) friends cleverly suggest a series of ‘games.’
Let’s play Brush Each Other’s Teeth says Rumble; let’s play in the bath, suggests Herbie; let’s cuddle up for a story, suggests Stig. Soon Little Rex is ready for bed, and his grandpa Big T is there to tuck him in ready for a day of fun and games tomorrow.
It’s a lovely way of walking through or establishing a bedtime routine, of calming everything down at the end of the day, though still in a playful way.
All toddlers will recognise themselves in little Rex and surprise pop-ups add to the fun. Can you spot Rex’s pet rock, Rocky too?
