Why it is Special to Me
My Bedtime Learning Book is essentially the first educational product I developed. At the time I never intended to sell it. I made these little books with my two children and they loved it. I knew how much they loved bedtime stories and how they could pretty much recite the stories after a few nights. So, I decided to make up a bedtime book with information I wanted them to learn such as phone number, address, and ABCs and so forth. They loved their special bedtime book designed just for them. I enjoyed seeing them study it nightly. Soon, they learned all the information in the book. Holding those special memories in mind, I created My Bedtime Learning Book.
