This book is good for younger children. It portrays a picture of love and children need that. If you keep reading it children will be able to hopefully help you read it and tell you what comes next.

A very sweet bedtime story which gives you an excuse (not that you need one) to give your kids lots of kisses before tucking them in for the night.

On a dark and stormy night on Plum Street, Sam (a little bear) refuses to go to sleep, informing Mrs. Bear that he is “waiting.” Thus begins Mrs. Bear’s attempt to find out what her son is waiting for in Amy Hest’s Kiss Good Night. In an attempt to get Sam to go to sleep, Mrs. Bear performs
This story has gentle illustrations by Anita Jeram, where details like toys shaped like dogs and cats are not missed. It is a soothing tale that could easily prepare small children for bedtime. It would also make a wonderful read-aloud, with words like those of the wind (“Whoo, whoo”) being printed larger than the rest of the text. The only weak point is that, at times, Kiss Good Night feels disjointed. This is due to the fact that whenever Sam’s mother asks if he is ready to go to sleep, he simply states “I’m waiting,” and the reader must infer that he is waiting on some action his mother normally performs. Recommended for Pre-K.

This book is a great story for a read aloud. I read it to the Kindergarten class I was interning in and they loved the story. They were able to relate to Sam's bedtime routine. They also loved the repetition of Sam's answer of "I am waiting." I think that this would also be a great bedtime story.
