The Going to Bed Book

As a family this is our newest favourite book!

The sun has set not long ago
Now everybody goes below
to take a bath in one big tub with soap all over - SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB!
They hand their towels on the wall
and find pajamas big and small.
With some on top and some beneath, they brush and brush and brush their teeth.
And when the moon is on the rise, they all go up
to exercise!
And down once more, but not so fast, they're on their way to bed at last.
The day is done. They say goodnight, and somebody turns off the light.
The moon is high. The sea is deep. They rock,
and rock,
and rock
to sleep.

We all love it, a Noah's ark bedtime story that's never too long to read.

Yes. "The Going to Bed Book" has been a favourite in our family too - I just always wondered... Why do they all have a bath before going outside to exercise? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a bath afterwards?

yeah, you'd think they'd be sweaty after exercising..but I like the surprise of it.
