Toddler Bedtime Storytime

I had just pulled a bunch of bedtime books so when I was asked to fill in for Toddlers this morning I remembered that there were a few good toddler books in the stack. 

They were great toddler books, but basically the same plot of getting ready for bed.  I skipped the last book, but it was fine for a last minute fill-in.
