Our Favorite Bedtime Story!

Good Night, Baby Animals is a beautifully written and illustrated children's book that is perfect for bedtime stories with the little one in your life. This would make a great gift for a baby or toddler and even my older child likes me to read it to him before bed. We practice the sounds and read it at night. This book is filled with beautiful illustrations of my child's favorite baby animals and it's a book to cherish. Really love this book!

This is our first Sandra Boynton book and a family favorite at our house!  My 20 month old son brings it to me often to have read to him during the day, and it's part of our nightly routine as well.  When it's late and he refuses to get out of the tub at night because he's having too much fun, we mention that it's time to read Pajama Time, and he practically jumps out by himself!  I've read the book more times than I can imagine, but I'm not tired of hearing the rhythm of the words - my husband reads it with more of a rap sound, while I choose to use more of an upbeat cheer.  The drawings are so cute!  My son always points out the moon to us and I love that chicken lying on the ground pulling his pants on!  We enjoy how the last page seems to quiet things down by using smaller and smaller type, implying that the words get quieter, and the use of the words "Hush, hush" and "shhhh".
It's a definite keeper although our copy is getting a little hashed.  If I had any complaints, it would be the hole in the moon on the cover was way too tempting for my son - he's bent the little flap there so it doesn't look very nice anymore.
I'm considering buying multiple copies to give away as shower gifts, but I suppose it's more age appropriate for kids over the age of 1.
If this is any indication of the fun and excitement of Sandra Boynton's other books, we'll be expanding our collection!

This book is great! I have 2 daughters ages 9, and 3 who both love the book.  The pictures are wonderful and the story has a positive  message. It is my oldest daughter's favorite bed time story. We have also been lucky enough to attend a reading of the book where the got to meet Wally, he is so cute and calm, and that just makes the book that much more enjoyable to be able to associate the real dog with the story.

This book is fantastic. My 3 year old loves it and it quickly became his favorite bedtime story. Ths story is adorable and it's a quick read, so we don't mind when he demands we read it four times in a row. The quality is great and the flaps are durable. I was nervous about the durability when I realized it was a paperback flap book, but it turned out to be perfect.

My 3-year-old always selects this book as one of the 5 books we read each night before bedtime.  The illustrations are beautiful and colorful and the story is well-written without being too long and drawn out.

My son loves books, but has a short attention span (as 3-year-olds do) and has, in the past, preferred books with only a sentence or two on each page.  The Rooftop Rocket Party is so engaging that he pays close attention to the story, even though there are several small paragraphs on some pages, and asks a lot of questions about what's going on.  There are enough fun characters and memorable lines that we act out parts when we read it together.  We borrowed this from the library but he loves it so much I will have to buy it for him!

This book can be counted on as a winner for a bedtime story.
First the book introduces our main characters:  An elephant and a boy who live in a little Chinese village making paper lanterns with the boy's parents. The elephant is named Tubby and the boy is named Ah-Mee. When Tubby's idea for a birthday present for Ah Mee gets him in trouble, Ah Mee saves him.  Then Tubby saves Ah Mee.  Then Tubby and Ah Mee save a whole boat of sailors from some pirates.  They come safely home, have a party, and then Ah Mee thinks of a birthday present for Tubby. The book ends with sleep and that's the best way to end a bedtime story!  This book not only puts kids to sleep happy, but it teaches them how to make a paper lantern and a bed!  The most important thing learned is how to be a good friend.

When my oldest was a baby, we read this book so much to her that she started reciting it out loud to herself by memory but almost had us fooled into thinking she could read at 2! After my third child ripped the paperback version of this much-loved book to shreds, we were so happy to discover it came in board book form. Great story and illustrations. You can't go wrong with this book, especially with the toddler set.

We love ALL the Nancy Tillman books, and this one might be our favorite. The cadence of the rhymes is perfect for bedtime reading, and the message that every child is special, unique, and loved is one that we adore instilling in our son. After only a week or so, we've already read this one to him so many times, we basically know it by heart! I highly recommend this book for every child's library.
