Let’s Be Creative with The Monster on Top of the Bed
Do you read to your children? Sure you do. We don’t read to our children as much as we should I don’t think but, Walker is now reading to us so we have slacked off more than we should. I was fortunate enough to be able to read and review LetsBeCreative and their CD and book of The Monster on Top of the Bed.
Yea, you read that right, the monster ON TOP of the bed. Sometime I think my child is a monster and he scares me too…and I don’t live under his bed. We first let the boys enjoy the book/CD combo on Saturday morning before his basketball game. I knew he would be up at like 7 AM and he didn’t play until 10. But, it was his first game, and well…you know…excitement…it gets the best of you.
So, I baited them with “another surprise before the game that’s even better”. It worked. So, instead of asking every 5 minutes if it was time to go, I set them up with a copy of the book and the CD. I let the CD do the reading and Walker held the book so that he and Jace could both see.
We didn’t hear from them again until it was time to get ready to go to the game. After the game, we (and 900 other people) went to a restaurant with a play area for the kids to play while we used their wi-fi. It was horribly crowded and the boys were begging to leave.
We managed to eat and stay an hour or so and then they started having birthday parties and it just got to be too much. Finally, Walker had a grand idea, “let’s go and we can listen to our CD on the way home”.
Ok, you got me kid. Let’s go. You can go to their website, LetsBeCreative and get the CD and the book for $20. You can even order extra book for $3 each that way, you won’t have kiddo’s arguing over who is going to hold the book. Which…my kids did argue, but Jace is pretty good with his big brother being the one who “knows how to read”.
Believe it or not, Walker has listened to the CD with the book several times and I’ve heard him trying really hard to read the book to his brother without the CD already. Can’t get much better than that!
And, here’s one really cool addition, you can download the audio online, put it on your mp3 and then use a wireless transmitter to play it in your car for the kids. Oh, yea, friends, there’s all kinds of way to make this one work.
