When asked about her favorite bedtime story, author Rebecca Fjelland Davis answered: The Poky Little Puppy.

"My mom read me this book so many times, our Little Golden Book copy was tattered. I loved how cute the puppies were, but I identified entirely with the little puppy who stuck his nose where it didn't belong so much that he was always late and sometimes in trouble—but always, of course, safe and loved at the end."

is the author of Chasing AllieCat. Visit the link in our bio to learn more about her and her YA novel about Sadie, a fearless mountain biker.

When Blake Hoena, author of Robots on the Moon, was asked what his favorite bedtime story was growing up, he replied, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.

He says he was fascinated with the idea of Max's bedroom turning into a jungle, and Max's bravery when facing the Wild Things. They were scary, yet Max ended up romping around on the island with them.

When Savannah Nieman, illustrator of Robots on the Moon, was asked what her favorite bedtime story was growing up, she replied, Oh The Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss.

It's a book she read as a child, and she loved the artwork—"it's really cute!" The message of the story: to embrace the up's and down's in life and to find the courage to follow your dreams, is a one she's taken to heart.

Going along with our December theme of reading bedtime stories to young, eager listeners, here is a , just released, by author Chaz Wendling

The Tooting Rabbit—Christmas in the Big Apple is more than just another . It's a story of friendship and family, and accepting others for who they are. Well, andit has a little to get everyone giggling.

In our promotion of story time during the month of December, we've mentioned the precious bonding time that reading to the young one in our life provides. But adding to those bedtime time rituals has other benefits.

It fosters language development—the exposure to rich vocabulary and complex sentence structures in books helps children develop stronger language skills. They develop larger vocabularies and a better understanding of grammar.

It nurtures emotional intelligence—through stories, children encounter a wide range of characters facing various challenges and emotions. When children identify with characters in stories, they develop empathy and emotional awareness as well as learn to understand their own feelings better.

It boosts cognitive development—regular reading sessions stimulate the thinking processes. As children follow plots, remember characters, and make predictions about what might happen next in a story, they develop critical thinking skills and improve their memory and concentration.

When asked about his favorite bedtime story, Chaz Wendling, author of The Tooting Rabbit (T***s) series replied:

As a child, my parents read Curious George books to me. They were my favorite with all the situations George would get himself into.

As a parent, me and wife read to our children—everything from Charlie and Lola by Lauren Child to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault. We especially enjoyed stories that made us laugh out loud.

That's why Mo Willems books, like Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus, were among our faves. Willems is a master storyteller. He uses so few words, has great illustrations, and his books are such fun reads. I really admire him and how he engages young readers.

The importance of story time, something we will continue to discuss throughout the month.

One of the biggest benefits of reading to the young ones in our lives is the one-on-one time it provides. It's a bonding moment. A shared experience that gets us to laugh together, to be amazed together, and to build memories that will last a lifetime.

Story time also offers quiet time in our busy days. A time when we adults set aside our phones and other distractions to focus solely on reading to an eager listener. Giving our undivided attention to the young ones in our lives helps build their self worth and confidence.

Likely many of us also have fond memories of being read to as children. By including story time into the routines of bedtime, we pass those positive associations down to the next generation in hopes of raising more readers.

As a publisher of children's book, that may seem like a selfish goal. More readers mean more books sold. But we developed our joy of reading first, and it's through the love of reading that we built this small, indie publisher in hopes of spreading that joy to others.

Happy reading!
