Description
Picture this. It's late. You shout, "Time for bed."
You hear: "I don't want to go to bed.", or "It's too early.", or "Why does Jeremy get to stay up longer?", or "there's a monster under my bed!", or "I have a stomachache."
Now, thanks to Wiggle Your Nose – Wiggle Your Toes your child tell you when it's "Time for bed." Imagine, you and your child, laughing the first time you see pages 8 and 9. As you turn more pages, the smiles will turn to laughs. As you continue to read, your child will appear to be dancing under the blanket.
Wiggle Your Nose – Wiggle Your Toes successfully takes full advantage of the author's firsthand knowledge of two key factors. First, Burt knows children. He has five children, nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Second, he developed a unique sleep technique after an accident that fractured his L1 vertebra. At that time, he could hardly move and was unable to sleep. After several weeks, in bed on his back, and with limited body movement, Burt perfected a bed-bound routine that cleared his mind, minimized his pain and allowed him to fall into a long, deep sleep.
Burt blended his sleep technique with personal experience of getting children ready for bed resulting in Wiggle Your Nose – Wiggle Your Toes. The original title was Wiggle Your Ears, but Burt quickly learned that most children could not wiggle their ears.
