See customer reviews on Amazon →Quiet, spare text and soft, slow illustrations make this a finger-friendly, read-aloud bedtime choice; sentences are short and rhythmical, built around saying goodnight to objects.

Its useful part is concentrated encouragement: simple metaphors of travel, hills and valleys and triumphant forward motion that land quickly with young listeners and make a tidy gift for milestone moments. The main limitation is its brevity and generality; older readers or anyone wanting concrete guidance or nuance will find it sentimental and abstract rather than practical.”
