Aloha Friday #14

What is your child’s favorite bed time story? If you don’t have children, what was your favorite bed time story when you were young?
Pristine loves Hansel and Gretel. I know that is not a good story to read before going to bed, considering one of the characters is a witch but it is the triumph of Hansel and Gretel over the wicked witch in the end that puts a smile on her face every time I read it to her.
Aloha Friday is a weekly posting all in the spirit of fun and relaxation. No heavy, brain-stormed posts, just ask a simple question for readers to answer in the comments. Visit the Aloha Friday HQ @ An Island Life.

It is a toss-up between “Little Bunny Follows His Nose” (a scratch & sniff book) and “Are You My Mother.” I found both for our daughter and I love reading them to her.

At the moment my 4 year old (girl) loves Cinderella. She is going through her princess stage at the moment. It was Snow White a few weeks’ ago. The princess stories are good fun but they all seem a bit similar after a while!
She is afraid of Hansel and Gretel!

When I was young I had a “365 Bedtime Stories” book. It’s the only one I remember so that must be the one!

Goodnight Moon. I don’t know that it’s their favorite, but they request it each and every night. We’ve read, um recited, that book to them every night since they were born . . . my son is now 7 1/2 and my daughter is 5 . . . and they STILL want to hear it ever. single. night.

My children love the Hardy Boys Series or the Chronical of Narnia series

It really varies from day to day. Becca loves anything ‘Dora’ right now and Abby and Hannah rotate among several favorites each. Lately they’ve been wanting a lot of our Berenstein Bears books.

My grandmother used to tell me Naughty Little Goldilocks. She had it memorized. It was a poem…not the Three Bears story book. I found it years later when I was doing my student teaching and used it for a project for my Children’s Literature Course. As a child, I begged grandma to repeat it over and over as I fell asleep. Now my nephew begs for it from his grandma, my mother. I don’t have children yet…but, Lord willing, soon! And, they will fall asleep also to Naughty Little Goldilocks.

I don’t know that they have one, but when my oldest was very young, every night before he went to bed I would read him “Good Night Moon”
