A Bedtime Story Adults Can Love Too

We found a copy of this book at a thrift store and it immediately became the bedtime favorite of my 20 month old daughter. Better yet, it became MY favorite bedtime story. Unlike most typical bedtime fare, this book offers something special for children and adults alike. Eve Rice presents incredibly detailed drawings of New York City and its inhabitants as "Goodnight creeps over the rooftops slowly". Her illustrations depict the streets and neighborhoods as well as glimpses into the quiet nightime routines of the residents. Each drawing is rendered in black, white and gray with limited use of yellow to create the warm glow of lamps, streetlights and the moon. The accompanying text is simple, flowing and comforting. It creates a nice contrast to the complexity of the illustrations. With text comforting enough for a child and illustrations detailed enough to interest an adult, I don't mind a bit that my daughter begs for this book over and over!

Goodnight, goodnoght

we got this book from a "book of the month club" and I have to say it is one of the house favorites. It is a book that everyone likes to read, it is my husband's first choice in bedtime books for the kids. It flows so nicely "goodnight came here and goodnight went there all over town". Please stock up on this book again!!!
