What do parents do after they put their children down for bed? Joseph is determined to crash all of his parents party hijinks and prove his theories of after-bedtime fun. A bit of a tongue twister at times but the ending doesn't provide much to distinguish it from other books with the same theme.

Little Monster refuses to go to bed until s/he wiggles out all different parts of her body. Big Monster challenges Little Monster to show him/her, which we all know is a clever ruse to get Little Monster all tuckered out.
A nice read-aloud for kids to replicate the different body movements of Little Monster. Can be shortened due to its repetitious storytelling.

A sweet story with plenty of contagious yawning to get your child (and probably yourself) ready for bed. This story was told in such a matter of fact way that it opens discussion between reader and listener to talk about the experiences and emotions of the characters. Is the little girl really tired? Is she brave to walk through the house at night? Etc, etc.

This nearly wordless picture book (only 2 words: playtime and bedtime) has fantastic, emotional illustrations that help aid the story of a gorilla being put to bed by a little boy. With little words, conversations are invited--especially the page where 1 toy is accidentally left by the boy.

Two boys snuggle up in bed and hear about how alien children across their solar system go to bed. Rhyming poetry make this a fun and fast read-aloud with delightful illustrations of various aliens throughout our solar system.
Semantics, but the uncertainty is present. It's not entirely clear why it's called a bedtime race--are the aliens racing against each other to go to sleep first? In the end, we see the Earth boys barreling through space on their bed but I'm not entirely sure how they got there. Have they been racing around the solar system this whole time?

An excellent read-aloud for a 1st or 2nd grade classroom, Reynolds provides another perfectly told scary story for the younger crowd wanting a more gentle spook and thrill.
Jasper Rabbit is not a little bunny anymore and he wants to do everything different from before. White underwear? Boring! He wants the creepy Frankenstein underwear on the sales wall, obviously. Light on in the bedroom? No way! He's a big boy now. Just as his dad closes the door, Jasper finds out the underwear give off a ghoulish, greenish glow. And what happens when Jasper can't get rid of them?

Another bedtime story comparing a sleepless child to all the other things going to sleep in the world--this time with monsters. Short examples allow this to be a perfect read for storytimes and easy to shorten if need be. This would also serve as a great family read-aloud for older and younger siblings.

We all know it: the whining, the moaning, the feet dragging, the distracting--all in an attempt to avoid playtime and go straight to bed--At least at the Owl household, that is. Little Hoot hates staying up late. Everyone else gets to go to bed at a reasonable time but not for the Owls.
A cute twist on a common theme with a perfect length and sweet illustrations.

When a white blindness spreads across the world, Saramago goes into incredible detail about the amount of fecal matter that piles up.
