I would have never have thought a story about Batman would have made a great bedtime story. I loved how they showed the parrallels of Batman night adventures with a young one preparing for bed.Super fun book.

One of the rituals of getting kids ready for bed is reading to them, at least it was for me. And having a book about going to sleep is always appropriate. And, if they are comic book fans (or cartoon series fans), this will appeal to them.As goodnight books go, this is a simple story, but very well juxtaposed. It shows the boy and batman going about their routine and doing sort of the same things. The boy puts on his pajamas, and Batman puts on his costume. The boy puts away his toys. Batman put...

Because I love checklists.

This is a cute bedtime story for those superhero fans. It shows the boy and batman going about their routine and doing sort of the same things. The boy puts on his pajamas, and Batman puts on his costume. The boy puts away his toys. Batman puts away the villains. The little boy looks at the clock to see it is bedtime, Batman sees the bat signal and so on. I think you get the idea here. As another reviewer mentioned, a companion book about batgirl or wonder woman would be great to show that littl...

Cute bedtime read for the little superhero fan in your life!

this took me 3 minutes to read. lol! while i enjoyed this, it wasn't the best picture book i've ever read. it was a short & sweet read about how kids & superheroes relate in a strange way.

Great read for my little heroes at bedtime.

*I read a digital ARC of this title from the publisher via NetGalley.

Batman has a checklist to follow when he gets ready...and you have a checklist that will help you get ready for bed! Great book that may help parents put their little 'batmen' to bed.

Geared toward lower grades it allows younger kids to use their imaginations to jump into the adventure with their favorite superhero. Written by a children’s book author and illustrated by comic book artists, the concept is brilliant. The dual storytelling of a kid facing her day and the comic panels of superhero defending justice is a wonderful way to relate to kids and their imaginations. The 'Be A Star' checklist is also a great reinforcement for the subtle life lessons contained in the story...

This is brilliant! It's the perfect superhero book for those little little kids who want to read super hero books, but really are too young for anything much. The illustrations are adorable.

I loved the art in this book and I would have given it an extra star but there wasn't as much story as I would have liked. It was still very cute and I think my son liked it too. We'll see tonight...if he repeatedly asks me to reread it I'll give my rating an extra star.

Fantastic bedtime story for superheroes' fans!Every activity in the boy's bedtime routine is told in a comic fashion. Batman gets the signal: dad points at the clock; Batman gets ready for the action: the boy wears his pajamas. Batman locks away the villains, the boy puts away his toys.I found this book cute and original. The illustrations are colorful, and the layout allows to follow both stories, Batman's and boy's, in a perfect way. And very important: Batman pictures are faithful to the orig...

In 'Bedtime for Batman' by Michael Dahl with illustrations by Ethen Beavers, we follow the parallel stories of a young boy going to bed and Batman. It's a wonderful picture book for toddlers and would make a good bedtime book.We see Batman getting a signal and getting ready to go out at night and fight crime. We see a young boy get the signal that it's bedtime and he has to get ready for bed. The pictures parallel what Batman is doing with the young boy. Batman cleaning up Gotham while the boy b...

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.This was a really cute book. It had great art and included illustrations of all of my favorite DC characters: Harley Quinn, the Joker, etc.There wasn't really a story, per se, but this might be just the thing to read to a little one that's being difficult at bedtime. There's almost a side by side comparison of Batman having his adventure and the little boy getting ready for bed. Dreams can contain big adventures,...

Disclosure: We received a copy from the author/publisher in exchanged for an honest review. This does not influence our review in any shape or form. I am absolutely in love with this book. It was absolutely adorable. I loved how the author connected Batman to a bedtime routine; you see how people depend on Batman to keep them safe and how the little one had goldfish that depend on him to keep them fed and healthy. I thought the connections between Batman and little kids were excellent and I foun...

Clean up crime... all before bed time. Went to a Batman pajama party at BEA Chicago and received a signed copy for my husband. As you all know, my husband is a Batman nut... (Only I get away with saying that because you know... the love), so i picked this up for him and then I forced him to share. (It's what I do)Fans old and new will fall in love with this very imaginatively way to get ready for bed. The signal appears, clean up these filthy streets, put all the ignorance away for good and clim...

A cute bedtime picture book, along the lines of Goodnight, Moon or Where the Wild Things Are. (But maybe not so literary.) I would have definitely bought this for my son when he was in pre-school or kindergarten. Nice art and framing, too. But it might have been better if the boy had a sister. And maybe see Batgirl alongside Batman & Robin. Little boys aren't the only ones who dream to be heroes. Thanks to NetGalley and Capstone for a copy in return for an honest review.

Fantastic picture book comparing a child's bedtime routine to Batman's nightly crime-fighting routine. Love the taking care of business page, as well as the bedtime checklist at the end.

GREAT book to read with the superhero grandson. Lots of fun for him and me.
