Toddler cries when bedtime/night is mentioned in story book

Just that really.

Sometimes it's an instant proper tears, others he wants the same page in the story over and over again, then he cries. It's a really sad, maybe scared cry, not a wilful temper type cry...

He has always gone down fine in the evenings, but in the last few weeks he's had the same very teary reaction to nap time. So much so that he was vomitting (I wasn't leaving him, CC or CIO, just putting him in the cot, the same as night time.)

I've resorted to driving him around for his nap, as he was getting equally stressed about bedtime, and getting chronically overtired, so something had to be done.

How on earth do I deal with this? Is he scared? What of? Why in books and at naptime, but bedtime is fine? How do I stop driving him around for naps...?

Anyone seen this before and got the T shirt?
