Industry Reviews
As the stars come out and shadows lengthen, the hero gets a signal. Batman prepares the Batmobile. Our hero gets ready for bed including cleaning up the daily grime just like Batman cleans up the town's villains. Add this to your bedtime stories if you want to make bedtime cool!-- "Imagination Soup"
Beavers' art is visually striking and vibrantly hued, perfect for keeping young eyes glued to each page. Dahl's economical text is cadenced with a gentle lilt, just right for a bedtime read-aloud. Young fans of the caped crusader will delight in spying their favorite characters. In the already-overstuffed bedtime-book market, this is certainly a niche read, but it hits its mark well, delivering fun without darkness. . . .This should send Dark Knight fans flying to the Batcave--or the bedroom.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
The dramatic, brightly saturated illustrations are satisfyingly reminiscent in style of the graphic novels for older Batman devotees. . . .While children may not buy bedtime as a "great adventure," they are likely to settle down to absorb this fun tale featuring their favorite character. Meanwhile, parents will appreciate the good-humored brevity that leads efficiently to lights out. The youngest Batman lovers and their parents will snap this title off library shelves faster than you can say "dynamic duo."-- "School Library Journal"
The story is calming, even for a Batman adventure. Author Michael Dahl not only is an expert at bedtime stories, he's obviously a fan of the DC universe, and it shows in this sweet and simple tale. If you're on your 1939th reading of Goodnight Moon and you're ready to add a little bit of action to your kids' bedtime story, pick up Bedtime for Batman. You'll love it just as much as they will.-- "GeekMom"
