Ten Minutes to Bed: My Sleepy Sticker Storybook

After buying and reading to my five year old granddaughter several of the 10 minutes to bed series it is good fo her to do something active about the stories.

The current stock images above give an idea of the content and I am sure that the ‘LOOK INSIDE’ facility will be along in a while.From the back cover:🦄 ‘Get little ones ready for bed with this simple, calming sticker book, based on the bestselling picture book series by Rhiannon Fielding and Chris Chatterton.Wind down with beautiful sticker scenes and a special bedtime reward chart!’ooOooLarger than average, this is a well produced sticker book from Ladybird, which has a touch of glitter (non-drop) to the front cover that nonchalantly glistens in the change of light.Measuring around 23.75 cm x 30.5 cm, the thick card cover opens to 24 numbered, shiny finish pages, the first one being a chance to claim ownership (image below refers).Set across double page spreads (bar the very last), before the countdown rhyme begins there is a request from the ‘Land of Nod’, to complete the map as the first sticker activity. The text is a good size and clear in black for the best part, sometimes ENLARGED for emphasis.The colourful illustrations offer scope for further discussion with the odd familiar creature creeping onto some of the pages!Back where we started, the last double page spread is the map repeated but suitably shrouded in darkness.In the middle are the 8 sticker pages with the relevant page numbers thereon.These are easy peel once you get a ‘start’, which may need some help, age & dexterity depending.They stay well stuck, in my experience.The 8th sticker page has the stars for the aforementioned, removable ‘My Bedtime Reward Chart’, found at the very back. Alongside the very last ‘Goodnight’ page, this is presented on thick card and has a poster of the key characters on the reverse.A couple of niggles is that due to the tight binding the book can be tricky to keep open at the chosen pages, which can be frustrating, and the sticker pages split the ‘six minutes to bed’ rhyme.10 images attached © Rhiannon Fielding, Chris Chatterton & Ladybird

This is our third book from this collection and our children love it even more each time. Our 3 year-old daughter loves unicorns, and has a special love for Sparkle and her family tales.As with the other books, there are maps of the Land of Nod on the inside in covers; one day time, one night time. The difference with this one is there are a selection of stickers included that you can add into the map. My daughter has loved picking her own stickers and carefully putting them into place.All the usual characters are included, and the story follows the same style as previous books (counting down the minutes from 10 to bedtime). They are fun and detailed but also not too long and drawn out. My daughter loved all the illustrations, and will tell me all about the Land of Nod before bed.This series is a family favourite, and this book did not disappoint! We especially love the reward chart that’s included, which is a lovely touch.Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful.

My little girl loves the 10 minutes to bed books so I was excited to get this for her and see what she made of it.First impressions of it were good, it’s a different shaped book to the other 10 minutes to bed books but still a decent size. Inside is the usual daylight map at the front and evening one at the bad with added spaces for stickers. There’s also several sheets of stickers in the middle, a story throughout and a tear out bedtime reward chart at the back. The reward chart was definitely my favourite thing, it adds a nice touch to her room and anything that will help me get her into her pjs is always a bonus!The storyline is the usual 10 minutes to bed theme but covers all the characters which was nice. Each page of the story encourages them to use the stickers so if you read it as instructed the story stickers will only last one read through. With that in mind I’ve told my daughter we read the story first (ignoring the bit about sticking the stickers) and at the end she can pick one of the stickers to stick down so it will last a lot longer.Overall I’m really pleased with this. I’d recommend just on the bedtime reward chart alone! 5 stars from us!

I got this for my daughter who thoroughly enjoyed the Ten Minutes To Bed book that we have. This adds stickers to the mix and anyone with young kids will know that stickers are one of the most fun things in the world.The book combines all the Ten Minutes To Bed series characters into one rhyming story which you then add the relevant stickers to on the story pages. It's a clever combo for the little fan, but I very much doubt this will be done by anyone during the bedtime routine and I also am not so certain it would be a calming influence. My daughter immediately set about sticking as soon as she got her hands on it. Far better to let them do the stickers and then read the story at bedtime once completed.At the back of the book there is a pull out weekly sleep chart which we are hoping will have some effect on our little one as the nights have been tough recently, but I'm waiting for her to ask to use it rather than trying to force it on her.It might not guarantee an easy bedtime but it's a semi-creative book for the young fan.
