So . A Bedtime Story for all. J. Crosby I gave it 4 stars for the adult level of writing. The sentence structure and vocabulary would be too difficult for most children to read. The adult fortunate enough to have children who still love bedtimes stories, will look forward to the story time just as much as the children.Ki
