15 Beloved Bedtime Books for Kids

Learn

Snuggle up and read

Happiness is ending a hectic day in cozy-soft jammies and escaping together into a beloved tale (while filling snuggle quotas at the same time).

We've asked our staff to tell us how they do bedtime reading with their littles.

"Once we're in our jammies, my daughter chooses a book and we read it together in bed. She always asks for one more chapter."

— Claudia

"We always have a stack of books by the bed. My kids each pick two. My eldest loves to tell me why she chose her books."

— Monika

"My kids are great negotiators. One book often turned into three. Per child. I always read to them lying in their beds."

— Esther
