Bedtime Blitz by Matthew Van Fleet
Product details
Web ID: 19876456So fun and robust too
Bedtime gets a new level of fun with this read...and it's sure to become a favorite. Already the animals on the front invite in with their friendly smiles and waves. Then, there's the first lever right on the cover. So, this one catches the attention right away. Bedtime preparations hit one by one, starting with a big bath full of animals (scrubbing away with bubbles and the next lever of motion) and ending with an exciting pillow fight. Still, it does settle for a last moment of calming vibes, which settle to dreams and sleep. This is a very solid board book with levers made from plastic to make them extra strong. The moving images are placed behind a clear, plastic window to protect the moving parts and help them last longer. The levers work easily and click into place to keep them from easily ripping out and ruining the fun. That means it's not a light book, but I do appreciate the robust thoughts and enjoy how smoothly they work. The movements aren't overly extreme but stay calm while promoting fun. There's always a sense of group fun thanks to the row of animals. The lighter coloring and simple lines fit well to the age group well. The text is written in lyrical rhyme, which flows very nicely and leads through the scenes nicely. Only the last page didn't rhyme, which bothered me but not the kids. They enjoyed the book just the way it is and gave it an immediate 'again'. I received an ARC and the entire family loved it.

This is a book every kiddo needs!
Bedtime Blitz! by Matthew Van Fleet is SUCH a fun book. First of all, the storyline is a blast to read out loud and as it’s centered around getting ready for bed, it makes a perfect bedtime routine read. Second, the artwork is adorable. It’s so fun to see what each animal is up to every step of the way (I think the alligator is my favorite!)! And then there’s the very cool element of the pull tabs to make things move on the page. This is such a hit with my little guy! There’s even a special little surprise on the very last page.
