Rosie the dragon and Charlie are ready to tackle bedtime—dragon-style!
Rosie the dragon’s bedtime routine has been a little bumpy lately. But not to worry! Charlie is prepared with his lists, rules, and fire extinguisher—everything a boy needs to help guide his pet dragon (and best friend) to a peaceful night’s sleep. But with bath-time bubble trouble, fiery-hot pajamas, and stuffed animal search-and-rescues, tucking this dragon into bed is not an easy task. And what happens when thunder strikes? Snuggle up with this adorable duo as they conquer bedtime the best way: together!
For ages 4-8
My Book review of Rosie the Dragon and Charlie Say Goodnight
Rosie the Dragon and Charlie Say Good Night is an adorable book about the trials of getting ready for bed. If only our dragons (er, kids) knew how much they’ll cherish sleep when they are adults, bedtime would be so much easier! But dragons and kids like to delay the inevitable, and so does Rosie. She takes a super long, bubbly bath. Her pajamas make her way too hot. She can’t find her stuffed animal. You get the picture! Rosie’s just like our kids. She needs routine to make bedtime a happy time.
I think that this sweet book will become a favorite bedtime book with you and your little ones! You won’t even mind reading it over and over as part of bedtime at your house.
Praise
“This humorous story is a sweet representation of caretaking and patience, with a parallel that can extend to older and younger siblings as well as to parent-child relationships, perhaps making young readers a bit more self-reflective and empathetic. This dramatic bedtime tale…will satisfy many.” —Kirkus Reviews

Yes, we had a bedtime routine. We alway read books before bedtime.
I loved reading to my kids before bedtime. We enjoyed going to the library together to pick out books.
We keep the same bedtime every night unless we aren't home which is rare. I think that helps keep them on routine.
always have had routines for my kids from dinner to bath time and book reading with kisses goodnight.
My great niece Zadaya likes all kinds of books because thats what I get her. I want her to love all books.
I forgot to add the book name Pumpkin Magic
halloween is coming and I have already picked up one
How do you (did you) handle bedtime with the little ones in your life? Did you have a routine?
This question is no problem...................... I don't Zay never spends the night. Two weeks ago she was at her aunts house and it was bed time 10pm she called mommy to come get her because she didn't want to go to bed.
LOL I had a niece who did that once too!
I always let them pick one book for me to read to them. They both loved the bedtime stories! Me too!
i don't have any kids so I never had to handle bedtimes. :(
Bath then read a book and had a bedtime.
