The Bedtime Chronicles is a children’s book series that brings a unique and innovative spin to the traditional rhyme book genre. Inspired by the creative wordplay and style of hip-hop music, the series centers on the Rimes family: parents – Stan and Pam, their kids – Benny and Mary Lou, and Benny’s stuffed animal bunny, Hip-Hop.
Each tale takes place at night as Benny requests a bedtime story – and in every book, a different family member takes him on a hilarious, rhyme-filled adventure meant to capture the imagination.
The Bedtime Chronicles: Legend of the Dadman was the first book to be released in The Bedtime Chronicles series.
The Bedtime Chronicles: Legend of the Dadman centers around dad, Stan, as he tells Benny and Hip-Hop a semi-autobiographical story about the sometimes extraordinary, mostly “extraordinary” daily adventures of the unsung hero he calls “Dadman.”

Review: The Bedtime Chronicles: Legend of the Dadman by Derek Siskin
I have to admit I adore this book and am a big fan of the bunny Hip-Hop.
The book is a quick, easy, and relaxing read for bedtime.
This story can be read in so many ways!
It is a fun story and the illustrations are delightfully colorful and carefree.
I imagine it's a favorite of both parents and children.
