Good Night Little Bookstore by Amy Cherrix and E.B. Goodale - ADVISABLE

Good Night Little Bookstore by Amy Cherrix, illustrated by E.B. Goodale. PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick Press, 2022. $18. 9781536212518 BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE A love poem to indie bookstores and readers of every shape and size, Good Night Little Bookstore follows the end of day process for a little bookshop on a neighborhood corner. The book is clearly a pastiche, not a parody, of the classic Goodnight Moon. It’s a lovely little homage and I loved the multicultural and inclusive community illustrated throughout the story. I don’t know how useful it could be in a school library, but it does celebrate books and the people who read them, so it could be very happy on any reader’s shelf. Kiera, BookswithBeddes
