A "Meh" Kids' Book - My Review of How Do You Say Good Night?

Published by: Tommy Nelson

Illustrated by: Catalina Echeverri

I have read many children's books through the years and not all of them stand out as being especially cute or especially interesting. I was happy to have the chance to read and review How Do You Say Good Night? because I love reading books to share with my nieces and nephews. I was disappointed with this book, though, because it did not seem to be anything special.

The illustrations:

The pictures in this book are a little bit cute and fun and interesting but I've seen better.

Who This Book is For:

This book is appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers.

What I liked:

The story of this book is kind of cute.

This book introduces children to animals that they might not have heard of before.

What I didn’t like:

The story of this book is fictional - of course - yet I think children might be confused by it and think that animals actually do the things described in the book.

This is written in a kind of long and dragged out way and I think it is kind of boring.

My conclusion:

Overall, I didn't think this book was anything special.

I give How Do You Say Good Night? 3 out of 5 stars.

I received this book free to review from BookLook. The opinions expressed in this review are my true thoughts and feeling regarding this book. I am disclosing this information in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

First of all, I love the sweet and gentle look of this book and the cute pictures. It is so modern and fun and special.

I love the way that this book affirms a child's worth and helps them know what they are in God's eyes.

I like that this book includes Bible verses to support its claims.
