Holly took instantly to the taggy puppy. "Dog" is one of her favourite words (second only to "cat", I reckon). A Little Goodnight Book is a small board book whose gentle rhyme serves as a bedtime lullaby. When Mr. B or I read it, we can't help but read it in a slow and rhythmic manner.
The story is designed to re-enforce the bedtime routine from the first signs of sleepiness, to the music of a lullaby, the twinkly stars and the bedtime cuddles. The illustrations are bold and cute. They are not textured pages but each page has a good range of colours and images of different textures.
It is a very short book (4 double pages) but I think that A Little Goodnight Book would make a beautiful gift for a new parent or for a small child as a birthday or Christmas present.
