Kisses for My Bedtime Bunny

Sandra Magsamen's art-therapy background shows in how she structures this little board book: every element — the bath, the brushed teeth, the pajamas, the final hug — is calibrated to signal safety and predictability to toddler brains. Sweet rhyming text and colorful illustrations make it an easy, soothing read-aloud for infants and toddlers at the end of the day. Published by Scholastic's Cartwheel imprint, it has solid distribution and is built to survive small hands. The honest caveat is that at 10 pages, there's minimal story development — this is a mood and ritual book, not a narrative one — and the crowded bedtime board-book category means it doesn't stand far apart from comparable titles. But for families who want a gentle, love-centered addition to the bedtime shelf, it does exactly what it promises.
