BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Two children are getting ready for bed under the watchful eye of their grandparents. Nana prepares the bedroom, Tata reads stories. But Tata's snores keep the children awake, and Nana grants one more story. Soon, Ganesha is watching over the sleeping children. A beautiful tribute to Goodnight Moon and bedtime routines.
I loved the repetition, the poetic text and all the Indian cultural references. Poonam Mistry's illustrations are breathtaking, so detailed! I got lost in the pages while reading, I can imagine how wonderful this would be as a bedtime story, but even more special for a child with connections to Hindu traditions.
