Iron Stream announces new release from partner, End Game Press

Bedtime…with books!

Reading books at bedtime is a win-win. You’re opening the wonderful world of books to the minds of your littles while slowing them down with snuggles to prepare for sleep.

Introducing a new pair of books that impart faith into the hearts of your children during this precious time together, Bedtime with Mommy along with its brand-new companion Bedtime with Daddy, are wonderful additions to your bedtime routine.  Both books feature animal babies around the word with their parent tucking them into bed. From babies to toddlers (and even bigger ones, too!) kids will identify with their favorite animal pairs.

Bedtime with Mommy includes elephants on the grasslands, pandas in the bamboo forest, and camels in the desert.   Bedtime with Daddy features penguins in Antarctica, peacocks in the bushland, and reindeer on the tundra. And more!And did we mention faith? These animal mommies and daddies sing hymns, read the Bible, and pray with their young ones as they say goodnight. Each book even features the parent praying a blessing over their child. As your children hear these prayers and blessings read to them, they’re sent off to sleep knowing their parent loves them and so does God. Isn’t that a wonderful way to say goodnight to your child?

Another benefit of these adorable padded board books is that they give examples to young parents of ways to impart a foundation of faith and prayer into the hearts of the next generation. As they see animal mommies and daddies taking time to pray and read the Bible and sing a hymn together with their little ones at bedtime, they’ll be inspired to do the same.Written with lyrical, rhyming text, the full color illustrations capture the love and tenderness between each mommy or daddy and child.

Here is an example when the daddy yak puts his child to bed.

It’s bedtime on the HIGH PLATEAU.

All day I’ve had such fun.

My daddy played and raced with me.

But now the day is done.

I thank God for my daddy.

He’s faithful, strong, and true.

He shows me what it’s like to know

God as my Father, too.

The final pages of each book show a real mommy or daddy tucking their child into bed. With snuggles and hugs and kisses in these books showing them sending their little ones off to bed, there will be lots of love shared with your own child as you read the books together.

Testimonies are already coming in where parents share that these titles are their toddler’s must-have-book and favorite part of their bedtime routine.

Grandparents and others are purchasing multiples to gift at birthdays and baby showers to family members, co-workers, neighbors, and friends.

Even families who do not necessarily follow any certain faith are letting us know that these books touch them and their children in meaningful ways.

Bedtime with Mommy and its companion Bedtime with Daddy are delightful new additions to every family’s bedtime routine!

Book 2 in the award winning Bedtime Board books series features many of the same characteristics as Book 1-Bedtime With Mommy but with all new animal families! All around the world, it’s bedtime, and daddies are tucking little ones into bed. From the penguins in the Arctic to the lions of Africa, it’s time for snuggles, prayers, songs and bedtime kisses. This adorable board book features a daddy and baby animal in eight different habitats getting ready for bed. The final spread features Daddy playing a guitar and putting his son to bed. Celebrate your baby’s bedtime routine with this special book today!

All around the world, it’s bedtime, and Mommies are tucking little ones into bed. From the elephants on the grasslands to the camels in the desert to the polar bears in the Arctic, it’s time for snuggles, prayers, and bedtime kisses. This adorable board book features a Mommy and baby animal in 8 different habitats getting ready for bed. And the final spread is when Mommy tucks a child into bed. “I love bedtime with Mommy When we turn off the light. Her kisses, snuggles, prayers, and hugs Are special every night!”

End Game Press books are distributed/managed by Iron Stream Media.
