A cast of adorable alphabet characters make this clever bedtime story a standout!

Suppertime’s over. Everyone’s fed.
Alpha Mom says, TIME FOR BED!

It’s a busy night for the Alphabet Family—after all, there are 26 kiddos to get ready for bed. A, B, and C declare they are not ready, and Impish I and Jazzy J don’t want to settle down, but by toothbrushing-time the crew seems to be headed in the right direction. Bath time requires six bathtubs and is super-splashy—and getting into jammies is no joke—but finally, after a story has been read and they are all tucked in tight, peace should reign. Except what’s this? When Mom turns off the light, it’s an Alpha pillow fight! Toddlers are sure to get a huge kick out of this lively alpha family—and hopefully following each and every little letter’s antics will tucker them out!

Editorial Reviews

Review

“In a style reminiscent of Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault’s Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, illustrated by Lois Ehlert, each child romps, rolls, and races to bed. . . . This spirited family is full of personality, each child with a different stuffed animal and pajama set and a unique journey to bedtime. The illustrations capture the bustle of a house bursting with children, from the chaos of the dinner table and children slipping on carpets and overturning houseplants in their haste to a series of bathtubs full of activity. . . . The rhyming text bounces along, an easy read-aloud, with rich vocabulary like impish, jazzy, and scramble making for a fun, silly, relatable read with detailed, appealing illustrations. . . . A playful approach to teaching kids the alphabet.” —Kirkus Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely delightful!

This book is so much fun and so charming! I love the illustrations of the Alphababies and all their adorable antics. This book is perfect for the littlest listeners because of its delightful rhyme and snappy pacing, but it's also great for preschoolers and kindergarteners (my children's age range). My kids were so excited to sing the ABCs in the middle of the books. They immediately chimed in with me as I read and beamed the whole time. ALPHABEDTIME makes me beam too!

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful bouncing bedtime romp!
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2023
Bedtime has nothing on these delightful 'not sleepy' bouncing Alphababies! Each Alphababy has their own uniqueness and items such as toys that start with the same letter of their name. Follow along with whirling-twirling, splishing-splashing, tooth-brushing FUN as they start to wind-down for the night...but what happens when mom turns out the light, you'll be surprised with an alpha PILLOW FIGHT!! So many adorable illustrated details to discover in this rollicking ABC bedtime romp that starts with 'A' and ends with 'Zzzzz'

Make bedtime super fun with this fun and funny rhyming picture book about bedtime procrastinators. It's sure to be read so often that young ones will have it memorized. The added bonus is that they will be learning the alphabet without realizing it!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my Kindergarten Class's current favorite book!
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2023
As a Kindergarten teacher, I am always on the lookout for the next book my students will LOVE- Alphabedtime is that book! At first glance, it looks like a clever story with adorable illustrations. Then you read it again and realize it is even more clever and more adorable than you thought! My students were smitten by the fun illustrations and exuberant "bedtime" story. When we realized every character was illustrated with multiple items (all starting with the letter that is being illustrated of course) it quickly shot to the top of my "most requested books" list. Everyone has their favorite page...I may have to get a second copy!
