BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - ESSENTIAL 

APPEALS TO: MANY 

Have you ever wondered how mama and papa animals say goodnight to their babies? This cute board book shows how different animal parents get their babies to go to bed. Sloth and her cub definitely take a long time to say goodnight, while other animals have playful routines. 

This is written with fun rhyming words, alliteration, and onomatopoeias. Maybe animals and humans are more alike than we think. My daughter and I enjoyed this book because it was cute, silly, and engaging. The illustrations complimented the text and the rhyming words made it a lot of fun. The repetition of how long it takes sloth to kiss good night was very cute.
