Book Review Bedtime for Batman (DC Super Heroes)

This clever board book transforms the nightly routine into a heroic adventure, following a young boy who imagines his bedtime preparations as Batman's crime-fighting duties. As darkness falls over the city, brushing teeth becomes suiting up in armor and a bath turns into a dip in the Batcave's decontamination unit. The story masterfully parallels a child's evening rituals with the Dark Knight's own preparations, making the ordinary feel extraordinary. This imaginative approach to a familiar routine provides a fresh and engaging take on bedtime stories for young children.

The book's true strength lies in how it empowers reluctant sleepers to see themselves as the hero of their own nighttime narrative. Ethen Beavers' moody, comic-book style illustrations perfectly capture Gotham's atmosphere while keeping the tone warm and accessible for preschoolers. This is an ideal read for superhero fans who need a little extra motivation at day's end, effectively channeling their energy into a cooperative, wind-down activity. By framing rest as a superpower, this story helps little ones embrace sleep as the next great adventure.
