Everynight is a Good Night with Harry!

This book is a staple in my 3 year old son's bedtime ritual. Every night we must read about this cuddly little plush elephant. It's beautifully illustrated and the story is just so cute! I would recommend this to anyone for a great bedtime story!

An important part of our goodnight routine

I found this book and purchased it for a friend's child before I had my daughter. I fell in love with it then and when I became pregnant, bought a copy for myself. I have been reading it to my daughter since before she was born and just about every night since. It is the last book we read before she goes to sleep in her crib. We all adore it. It is a beautiful story about how friends support and comfort each other. I didn't realize what an impact it had on my daughter until I realized that she was starting to say the characters' names at around 15 months and has proceeded to join me in telling the story. She identifies all of the objects (books, animals, toys) surrounding Harry, she shhs herself when Lulu and Ted are sleeping before Harry and when Lulu and Ted are awakened, she says, "Lulu, wake up." On some nights when she is very tired, she will be asleep before the end of the book! I adore this book and will keep it forever as a treasured memory of these blessed early days and months of my beautiful daughter's infancy and toddlerhood. It is just a wonderful book!

Goodnight, Harry

This book is a beautifully illustrated children's book. I purchased it for my very young grandson,Harry, who can identify with the elephant with the same name. A yound child can look at these lovely illustrations while Mommy and Daddy read the simple story of an elephant and his two friends. It is an excellent bedtime story which, I feel, any young child would truly love.

Good night Harry

Pre-K. This lovely book by Lewis Kim is about Harry, a stuffed elephant. The author has written another Harry story called `My Friend Harry'. This book can be viewed as a sequel to that title. This is about Harry when James, Harry's owner, is not around. Harry's problem is that he cannot fell asleep. When Harry has trouble sleeping, he tries everything to make himself sleepy. He reads bedtime stories, cleans up the room, runs, and even jumps. Still unable to go to sleep, he becomes worried. His friends, Lulu, the sheep and, Ted, the teddy bear help Harry out. Finally, Harry fells fast asleep. Done with colored pencil and pastels, Kim Lewis's illustrations are soft and dreamy. Yet they are realistic enough so they lure us to touch them to see whether we can feel Harry and other friends' fluffiness. The story is a soothing and heart warming bedtime story. It encourages sleep for everyone who reads it, even for readers who are not yet sleepy. When you finish reading this book, you might want to peek at the stuffed animals in children's room to see if those toys are talking, moving around, and making themselves busy. I would highly recommend this book to readers in preschool to kindergarten. This charming book could make toddlers happy, too.

Love it!!!

This book is so sweet and beautifully illustrated. My 9 month old son enjoys having it read to him everynight before bed and smiles and the adorable pictures. I would love to buy any and all books by Kim Lewis! I consider this book a bedtime must! Certianly cuter than the popular Goodnight Moon.
