Hey there, everyone!
I didn’t have anyone scheduled for Tuesday Debut this week.
But it just so happens that a little treat showed up in the nick of time to fill the calendar gap!
(Please tiptoe and keep your voices down and don’t go too close! You know how wild bookimals are when they have brand new letters!)
Look who has Alphabitties!
ABC 🩷 😊 ALPHABEDTIME is now available in a board book version! 😊 🩷 ABC
Aren’t they cute?! 😊
And TODAY is their birthday!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Alphabitties!
What was that?
You want cake?
Well, who am I to say no to cake?! 😊
Now you can have all the fun of ALPHABEDTIME in an indestructible format for youngest readers to enjoy! You can chew on it, throw it across the room, and drive over it with your Fisher Price bulldozer and it will still be perfect. You can even drop it in the bathtub (though it will require a little toweling off if you don’t want a damp spot on your pajamas!) And it can be yours for the low low price of only $8.99!
FYI, because you know how new moms like to tell everyone how amazing and wonderful their babies are, ALPHABEDTIME was on the CBC Hot Off The Press List 2022 and was an Amazon Editor’s Pick for Best Books ages 3-5 when it released in October of 2022, and it is adorable as a board book. Not that the Picture Book Mama Alphabedtime or I are biased in any way! 😊 But seriously! Just look at those cheeks!
ALPHABEDTIME BOARD BOOKS are available at Merritt Bookstore, my local indie, where you can order a signed copy! 😊, and everywhere else books are sold!
This LINK allows you to order direct from Penguin and has links to 8 additional major online retailers.
I am so delighted with these board book babies that I am doing a giveaway and will randomly select TWO winners from among commenters on today’s post and send them a copy. Please post your comment by Monday May 19th at 3PM Eastern to be in the running. If anyone feels like sharing these new babies on social media or reviewing on Amazon, Goodreads, or B&N, the ALPHA family and I would be most grateful!
And while we’re talking about giveaways, the winner of Kerry McQuaide’s giveaway from last week of a copy of THE BIGGEST HIGHEST WAVE is. . .

wow! I did not know this one, and have the perfect audience at home for it. Hope we win it and if not we’ll b ordering it 🙂
I’m so glad you have an audience, Susana! And now you’re in the running so maybe you’ll win! 🙂
Isn’t this one appropriate for adults too? I love it! Always in need of a refresher course. Also have a 3 year old in mind for this one. Thank you for sharing. ♥️
Oh, that’s wonderful! Thanks, Robin!
Congratulations, Susanna, on the release! It looks adorable!!!
Thanks so much, Elizabeth! I think it’s very cute, but I am admittedly biased 🙂
I’m so delighted to see this in a board book format. I sent your When A Lion Needs a Bath in a baby gift basket. I’m so glad even more books will reach little hands. Congratulations.
Aw! Thanks so much, Stacy! I truly appreciate that!
How adorable! Board books are the best!🥰
They really are, Kim! They hold up so well, and the price point is so much more accessible!
I agree, adorable! Congrats! Would love to win a copy for my kindergarten class.
Aw! That would be great, Tina! I would love for you to be able to share with your class!
Oh, these board book babies are precious! Congratulations!
Thank you, Barbara!
So cute and clever.
Thanks, Deborah!
Congratulations, Susanna! Your new board book babies are absolutely adorable, and I know they will be my go-to books for baby shower gifts.
That is so lovely to hear, Sarah! Thank you so much!
Awesome! I love books for bedtime (and naptime too!)
Me, too! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Oh, they are so cute and adorable! Just right for tough tumbles and loves! Congratulations, Susanna!

Hip hip hooray for ALPHABEDTIME the board book! So perfect Susanna!
Thank you, my friend! 🙂 ❤
Such a unique and useful book – hope it sells 1M copies!
Hahaha! Me too, Robin! Maybe we can manifest it! 🙂
Whoohoo it’s board book time! Congrats!
Thanks, Kris! I’m excited! 🙂
Congratulations! I love board books!
Thanks, Lauri! Me too! I have grandkids who are just at the board book age and it’s great to have books that can hold up to such enthusiastic “reading” 🙂
Adorable! Love it! Congratulations, Susanna!
Thanks so much, Kim!
It’s so adorable!! Congratulations!
Thank you, Karan!
So cool! Congratulations, Suzannah! I have a bonus grandson (half-brother of my granddaughters) that your book would be perfect for.
Thanks, Brenda! I love that you have a bonus grandson! 🙂
I will order a signed copy for a new relative! So cute. Congratulations, Susanna!!
Aw! Thank you SO much, Wendy! ❤
Yay, Susanna. I LOVE your picture book and with a new little 1 year old granddaughter in the family, the board book couldn’t have come at a better time. So happy for you and for this addition to our bookshelves. Think I need an autographed copy 🙂
Oh, that makes me so happy, Marty! Thank you! ❤
Susanna, this book looks so cute and love the title. Congratulations! This would be perfect for my grandson.
Thank you, Cheryl!
So happy to see ALPHABEDTIME as a Board book! 🙂
Thanks, Susan! Me too! 🙂 🙂 🙂
We love the original picture book version of ALPHABEDTIME and the board book version looks like it will be a delightful addition to my new baby gift baskets. Congratulations!
Aw! Thanks, Claire! It makes me so happy that you’ve read the PB version! ❤
We have six month old twins in the family who are devouring board books now (they seem to have a literal appetite as babies tend to do). Thank you for the chance to win a copy of this adorable book.
Board books are terrific for those who love to chew, throw, and dunk what they read, Danielle! 🙂 I hope your family’s twins will get to read ALPHABEDTIME!
They are so cute. Congratulations on your book being made into a board book!
Thank you, Karen! I am so excited to have it out in this format!
This is a great idea for a board book. The colors are beautiful.
Thank you, Rita! When it comes to the colors, we have Betsy Snyder to thank. She did such an amazing job with the art!
This book looks so fun! I know some little bitties who would put it through all the rigors and enjoy reading it at the same time! 🙂
Congrats on your success with this darling book.
Thank you so much, Michele!
