Adorable storybook. What a cute story and so reminiscent of real life! My kids (2, 5, and 7) love the Picco puppy books and can’t wait for more! My daughter is running around shouting “Picco Puppy!” as I type this.

Fun book. Can’t wait to read it to my grandkids I’m sure they will enjoy the pictures as well as I did

Perfect before bed! Read this to my son!

I found Bedtime for Picco Puppy by Michael Wong to be a timely topic for parents and a fun read for children its target age, 3 to 5. Often bedtime can be such a tearful time and full of arguments. However, the parents in Bedtime for Picco Puppy model ways to handle the nighttime chore in a fun, caring fashion. The sentence that keeps repeating to fit different situations— playtime is over, bath time is over — is a great sentence for parents to use in their own household. Using this for transition is a great means to help establish routines and consistency. Given enough practice with the firmness of this sentence, children will learn that once they hear it, they know it’s time to move on without argument. It’s short, repetitive, and to the point which is what children need. In addition, the words ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ are stressed. The illustrations are colorful and interactive. The Look and Find activity at the end of the book is right on target for children this age and the author has provided free coloring pages and wallpapers on his website www.PiccoPuppy.com. Start using Bedtime for Picco Puppy by Michael Wong early in your child’s life to introduce routines and bedtime will be fun for all!

This book presents an adorable family of pups for preschool readers. Pico plays with his sister, Poppi. The family is shown just before bedtime. Poppi and Pico play hide and seek, have fun in the bath, and brush their teeth. Of course, they plead with their parents to stay up a bit later. I like the way their parents teach the pups about the magic words of please and thank you. They are loving but firm with their children. Young readers learn that rules must be obeyed and those family relationships are important.The rhymes work well and the illustrations are adorable. Children are introduced to counting and there is a bonus page at the end of the story. Highly recommended as a bedtime story for children ages two through five.

Great bed time story for kids. This is a great bed time story for kids. It has cute puppies, bedtime routine and my kids loved it.

What a wonderful, colourful, amazing book full of easy read expressions and pictures. If you read it to your kid or let your kid read it by himself/herself he/she will enjoy the colorful sketches, the amazing words and maintain good habits.Picco Puppy was my niece’s favorite character where she enjoyed listening to every word and colored the sketches of the house and the characters and learned how to say “please”, “thank you” and “good night”. (My niece is almost 3 years old).

A very cute book, just a few random moments of happiness to read – a small glimpse into a happy family’s evening, even if they ARE puppies :-) perfect for people of all ages, even a grown up child, like me!

Michael Wong’s Bedtime for Picco Puppy is a fun look at bedtime rituals with Picco and Poppy, two playful puppies. This light-hearted book makes every aspect of bedtime special, even the often-dreaded bath and brushing of teeth. Arkhan Studio’s illustrations are bright and cheerful, and they brilliantly bring Picco and his family to life. I appreciated how gracefully Wong incorporated teaching the magic words in his story as well as including the counting lesson at the end of the book. There’s also a link directing readers to the author’s site for coloring pages. This is an ideal bedtime story and is also suitable for new readers to try on their own. Bedtime for Picco Puppy is highly recommended.

Bedtime for Picco Puppy by Michael Wong is a wonderful, well put-together children’s picture book. First, the illustrations are fantastic. They are in done in a way that reminded me of books that I had read as a child but with great-looking detail and graphics. It does not say who the illustrator is but I assume that it is Michael himself that illustrated the book. The pictures flow very nicely one after the other and the word placement is great. There are so many little things that make the illustrations great. For example, the bookcase in the living room is in the shape of a puppy. A small detail that adds a lot to the wonderful illustration. Another small detail that adds a lot to the pictures is that both puppies have a favorite animal that is the same, large or small. Something that I thought was a great addition.Not only is the story endearing about how little “puppies” should get ready to go to bed, but it teaches great lessons about listens to parents, what should be done to get ready to go to sleep and how to make that process a fun one instead of boring. As a father myself, I know how hard it is to get little ones to bed and this presents it in a way that is very fun for children to read and relate to. The writing in the book is terrific as well. There are small rhymes in the wording that add a lot to the story and make it that much more fun. The words flow very well and each paragraph per page is just short enough to keep a little one’s attention. The use of words is great as well. Simple so that a small child can read them and a parent will love to read this to their little ones over and over again. This book deserves the five stars given it and don’t forget to share this book and it’s website with family, friends, co-workers and anyone else you can think of. A great children’s book that will be a wonderful edition to any book library.

Wong uses simple verse and the resulting rhymes are pleasing. Moreover, the illustrations exhibit consistent brevity and wholesomeness, with light shades that demonstrates the serenity of the home. It features clear lines and patterns. The look is clean in keeping with Wong’s intention of appealing to parents and children. With four lines of text per page, this is an easy read for beginner readers. Picco and his sister demonstrate rowdiness typical of kids their age, but there is no manic or disheveled aura in the illustrations. The message of love within the demonstrated affection of Picco’s parents reveals a happy family. Bedtime for Picco Puppy is a well-conceived children’s book that is playful and reassuring. It is a thoughtful tribute to quality time with family that busy households have long overlooked.

There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

Parents will enjoy reading Bedtime for Picco Puppy to their young children. Each time they read a page, children can get ready for bed just like the darling puppies. Every home library should have a copy of this children’s picture book to read night after night as part of their regular bedtime routine. Parents will also appreciate the Look and Find activity at the back of the book, as well as the coloring pages on the website. Author Michael Wong has written a fun, easy-to-read book for young children that’s bound to become a favorite for parents and children. Children learn to read by seeing the same words repeated over and over and this book will help them recognize the words used in this story.
