Time to Say Bye-Bye
A perfect picture book for toddlers on the go!

Brynja absolutely loved this book. She's ask for it over and over again, and as soon as we finished reading it she wanted us to start over. Of course, we got sick of it pretty quick. But it was a good book. I liked it the first couple of times I read it. After the hundredth, not as much. It is engaging because it is relatable for kids and if they know how to say bye-bye, they will be thrilled to feel like they know what's going on! I also like the pictures, which are bright and engaging for chil...more
Introduces kids to the concept of transitioning between places/activities. The child isn't ready to leave the park but it is time to go to Grandma's so he says "Bye-Bye" to everything he played with. Then he transitions peacefully to being at Grandma's. The book ends with the toddler tucked safely into bed.
This is a sweet little story about what a baby/toddler might do in a day and learning to say "bye-bye" when things are over. Nice illustrations, and very relatable to a toddler. When I read this in story time, one girl repeated after me for every "bye-bye" line I said, which was very cute.
A good book for very young listeners. Totally reminded me of how stinky it is to be a kid and have to go as soon as your having fun. "Time to go say bye-bye" was never something I heard when boring grown up stuff was happening... that was always never ending.
Time to say bye-bye to the park just means it's time to say hello to grandma's house. Very full day with lots of transitions. Can use in baby storytime if I clip a couple sections. I need to make up a good bye-bye bounce!
A toddler goes to the playground, to Grandma's house, and home to play, then has a bath and goes to bed, each activity requiring a goodbye that also signals the beginning of new events.

Awesome...great way to help little ones who don't want to leave when it's time to go. This will be purchased for my grandloves AND their parents.
Would be a cute way to end a toddler storytime and have them say good bye along with the book. I am looking forward to reading it with my toddler.
Difficult to peg. Language is for 0-2 but length of the book is for 2+. Would be a good one for parents struggling with transitions.
toddlers have a difficult time with transitions so this is a great book to make saying bye-bye fun and a normal progression of the day.
It's a cute story, but it's too long to use in a toddler storytime and the theme would probably not be interesting to preschoolers.
this is good for teaching kids about transitions and that there are fun things at different locations.
A young child uses a "Bye-Bye" ritual throughout the day to slowly leave behind one adventure to begin the next-- right up to dream time.

Sweet book for baby/toddler storytime... interactive.
cute for baby storytime
Reflect's a toddler's experience with transitions. "But I'm not done playing!" "It's time to say bye-bye." Lots of bye-byes, but that doesn't mean everything's done - it's just the beginning of the next thing!

Author-Illustrator Maryann Cocca-Leffler has been a story teller since way back. She told her second grade classmates that her father owned the “Coca-Cola” company (he didn’t.) That teeny tiny lie was the idea behind her book, "Princess K.I.M. and the Lie That Grew" and it's sequel "Princess Kim and Too Much Truth" (Albert Whitman 2009/11). These two books have inspired the play- PRINCESS K.I.M. T...more
