Bookreview: Let's Get Ready for Bed by Michael W. Smith and Mike Nawrocki

This is a really cute bedtime book for toddlers. And as a bonus, if the parent can sing, there is a song included that is perfect as a new lullaby to sing to kids as they try to fall asleep.
The story in the book is a simple one. A little puppy needs to go to bed and as we see him go through his bedtime routine, he gets a little help from two friends to fall asleep. Because nothing works better than two friends singing a lullaby to get the puppy to fall asleep. There is an online song, but in order to listen to the song you have to agree to be added to a mailing list. For that reason, this book only gets 3 stars from me. Normally, this book would get five stars since the illustrations are absolutely adorable and the story is a lovely one. But I hate the fact that mailing lists are asked for, whether the email is used for spam or not (and I have no doubt that the use of it would be limited to this mailing list), but I hate how people try to get you to sign up for items that you have maybe a one time use for and treat your email like disposable wipes. Emails are supposed to be private and I sign up for the book. Advertising a lullaby online as a ploy to get your email is not good business practice in my opinion since the lullaby that is advertised on the cover is protected and only available if you sign up for a mailinglist. So please, do not buy the book if you really want the lullaby online song, it has nothing do with it.
