The Book Fairy

The Book Fairyexperience will certainly excite your little one about reading, and possibly provide motivation to get into bed without argument. Imagine that! While your youngster is occupied (i.e. brushing teeth), pick a bedtime story and hide it underneath his or her pillow. If desired, sprinkle some glitter on the bedside table or floor. Upon returning, pretend to see the “pixie dust” (glitter) for the first time. Mention that you recently heard the Book Fairy was in town. Who is the Book Fairy?

Well, she’s the Tooth Fairy’s cousin, of course. And her wish is for all children to read wonderful stories before drifting off to sleep! So if the Book Fairy paid a visit, where do you think a wonderful story might be hiding? The Book Fairy may visit every weekend or become a permanent fixture in your home. She might even start a tradition of leaving a newbook on special occasions! However you choose to use the Book Fairy idea, it is sure to be a welcome addition to your nighttime routine.
