What are your favorite Bedtime Stories?
We just had the opportunity to watch Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler, or as my kids call him, “That Happy Gillmore dude.” The kids loved it and my husband thought it was great for the kids, but a bit predictable. I liked that the movie sparked my children’s imaginations.
As a handyman at the hotel his father used to own, Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler) spends his days changing light bulbs and competing with the hotel’s smarmy manager (Guy Pearce) for the attention of the new owner’s beautiful, hard-partying daughter, Violet (Theresa Palmer). When his sister Wendy (Courteney Cox) asks Skeeter to babysit her kids for a week while she’s out of town, Skeeter entertains his niece and nephew with elaborate, original bedtime stories that transport them to exotic locales. When he tries to help his family by telling one outlandish tale after another, it’s the kids’ unexpected contributions that turn all of their lives upside down.

What is your favorite bedtime story?
In Bedtime Stories, Skeeter takes his niece and nephew to places like ancient Greece, the Wild West and outer space. Growing up I loved D’aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths
What are your and your children’s favorite bedtime stories?
There’s a lovely Eric Carle book called The Very Lonely Firefly that my daughter asks for every night. The last page is magic.
This was a very amusing movie.
When I was a child, I loved having ‘Love you Forever’ by Robert N. Munsch read to me at bedtime (or anytime for that matter). I love that the book is still around.
