Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

Sleepy-Time Rhymes

Helen Haidle · 1998
80/100
👍 Worth It

Helen Haidle's bedtime collection does exactly what a faith-centered bedtime book should do — it is calm, reassuring, sing-able, and grounded in a clear message of God's love and care. The familiar 'Jesus Loves Me' tune makes it immediately accessible for even the youngest children, and the 5-star reader reception reflects how well it lands in the homes it is designed for. Narrow by design, but excellent within its scope.
