Our Favourites | February Bedtime Stories

Disclosure - We were gifted products for the purpose of this review. All thoughts, opinions and photographs are our own.

Here's a look at what stories we have been reading at bedtime. This Love, This Is Owl, A Quiet Quiet House, Great Women Who Worked Wonders, Car, Car, Truck, Jeep and We Eat Bananas are our favourite stories this month.

 I thought this may be too young for little J but he actually loves it. Car, Car, Truck, Jeep is bursting with cars, buses, planes, trains, trucks, diggers and many more things that go. The words can actually be sung to the tune of Baa Baa Black Sheep and it's very popular here.

Car, car, truck, jeep,
have you any fuel?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
three tanks full.

One for the red bus,
one for the train,
and one for the pilot
in her jumbo jet plane.

We Eat Bananas is more of an activity and look at the pictures type of book but little J loves it. 

Is that a flamingo munching on a banana? What about that hippo flipping pancakes? And why is that llama dressed as a lemon? There's even a shark slurping a fruit smoothie. All the animals are eating their favourite foods in their own hilarious way. 

We Eat Bananas invites children to choose their favourite foods and how they like to eat them across 12 spreads, packed with animals eating bananas, soup, sandwiches, sausages, ice cream, vegetables, spaghetti and more. With interactive speech bubbles and hilarious shout outs.

For any parent who has ever struggled to get their kids to eat up, this hilarious book is for YOU! No more fussy eating.

This is one of my favourites this month A Quiet Quiet House

Down a quiet, quiet street
Came a quiet little mouse,
Who was speeding on a scooter
To a quiet, quiet house.

But – uh oh – here comes a mouse on a pogo stick! And there’s another mouse on a moped! The quiet house won’t be quiet for much longer... Whatever is happening inside?

A hilarious peep-through mystery from the creative team behind 10, 9, 8… Owls Up Late which is another favourite of ours.  Packed with quirky details to spot on every page, little ones will love peeking through the windows of this not-so-quiet house!

This Is Owl  is a lovely book with flaps and interactive play, this humorous title will have you clapping and flapping along!

This is Owl.

Have you met?

No?

Well let me introduce you…

For those who are fans of Disney and the parks This Love reminds me of It's A Small World and I actually find the song in my head after I read it. It's such a lovely book 

It doesn't matter who we are, 
join hands and stand up tall.
Love is a special language
that's understood by all.

What stories have you been reading this month?
