Summary

The Bedtime Chronicles is a new children’s book series that brings a unique and innovative spin to the traditional rhyme book genre. Inspired by the creative wordplay and style of hip-hop music, the series centers on the Rimes family: parents – Stan and Pam, their kids – Benny and Mary Lou, and Benny’s stuffed animal bunny, Hip-Hop. Each tale takes place at night as Benny requests a bedtime story – and in every book, a different family member takes him on a hilarious, rhyme-filled adventure meant to capture the imagination.

What’s more, The Bedtime Chronicles isn’t just for kids. With clever illustrations and pop culture references sprinkled throughout each book, it also appeals to those often-overlooked individuals responsible for the buying and reading of said books… the parents! Imaginative, funny, cool, and musical - The Bedtimes Chronicles is truly fun for the whole family. Legend of the Dadman is the first book to be released in The Bedtime Chronicles series.

Review

Legends of the Dadman, the first book in The Bedtime Chronicles series, isn't your traditional children's book. Inspired by the rhyme of hip hop, the book is innovative and fun not only for your child but for the parents as well. What I thought was fun for the parents were the pop culture references that will leave you feeling nostalgic and the play on rhymes give the story its uniqueness. The illustrations were colorful and fun. You really feel like you get to know the family. I love the familial bond and how a bedtime story can bring them together. The book inspires the idea of how fun bedtime stories can be.

Overall, it was a different spin on the traditional story. I look forward to see what the next book in the series will bring. The idea of each future book's bedtime story being told from a different family will keep this series fresh and unique.
