Dear Sandra Boynton

Dear Sandra Boyton,

I love all of your children's books except I have one qualm! In The Going To Bed Book all of the animals take a bath and "...scrub scrub scrub" , find their pajamas, "...brush and brush their teeth", and then they exercise! Every night I read this book to my son, and every night the exercise routine does not seem like an appropriate event for sleepy animals and babies alike ESPECIALLY after they have bathed and brushed their teeth! What do these animals not sweat or want to partake of a power drink during a workout? I think instead of exercising the animals should be reading...or meditating...or maybe even singing a soft lullaby! Not getting their heart racing--sweating--maybe even gagging because they are so out of shape! There. I got it out.

Signed,

A confused bed time routine reader and her baby son that wants to exercise and run all over the place after he brushes his teeth all because of this book! It definitely could not because he just learned to walk/run...it is this book!

    I haven't read this book but that's really odd. Now I have to remember not to get G this book because I'm sure that will bug me endlessly.

    Ha, I was just thinking the same thing!  Very strange...

    I am confused too...

    but then again, when O runs all over the house after a bath and tooth brushing, she wears herself out and falls right to sleep!

    Becca that is my favorite book... And that's my favorite part of the book... It's unexpected and silly and give me one more silly moment with my sweet Madison before I put her to bed!

    I actually like that book! I makes me laugh. I read in a sing song voice and it is a fun read. Take the literal meaning out and enjoy :]

    this. D loves this and wants it read every night.

    It's a universal comment. Every parent I know who's read this book always goes, "exercise?!?!?".

    But DS loves them so I have no complaint.

    Glad to know I'm not alone in this! When reading to DS, DH or I will usually stop after "excercise" and say "...still makes no sense..." before continuing to read. I was very confused the first time I read it, haha.
