For children the ritual of going to bed is a very real one. The saga of "good nights", teeth brushing, toileting, drinks of water, and bed time stories are for parents, the basis of childhood memories. Both for themselves looking back, and as parents creating new memories.
For ideas of other picture books related to this theme I invite you to look at http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/may/12/best-childrens-books-ever
In the interim, enjoy Check on me and for those who have access to an iPad - Nighty Night which is bound to become a favourite part of the going to bed ritual.
Check on me by Cameron Daddo.
Illustrated by Jonathon Bentley.
