Send your child’s favorite dinosaurs off to bed—and your child, too!—with this rhyming bedtime story that teaches the value of sleep

Stomp and swim and fly and creep!
Yawn . . . these dinos need their sleep.
Now it’s time for nighty night.
T-Rex pulls his blankie tight.


Just like your little dinosaur, these dinos love to play. But unlike your little dinosaur, they also love to sleep! Velociraptor snuggles under a cozy fern, Brontosaurus hugs his bear, and pretty soon, they all fall asleep until morning. But shh, don’t wake them! They need sleep to stay healthy, big, and strong, and so does your little dinosaur.

A sweet rhyming picture book perfect for your bedtime routine, Nighty Night, Dinos combines 11 of your child’s favorite dinosaurs (something they love) and the importance of sleep (something they, well, tolerate). But these gentle illustrations of dinosaurs tucked into bed will make bedtime seem exciting, and pretty soon you’ll have a snoozing little dino too.
