Best night time book

Excellent Book

Yes, you do need good lighting. Haha. But the book is excellent. Super fun! My kids all enjoy it. Has a much better flow and rhythm than many “rhyming books.” She is a great writer!

Perennial Bedtime Favorite

Sweet storyline about a night train getting ready for the next day. Would recommend the hardcover for its bigger illustrations.

I want to like it more than I do

It rhymes and doesn't have too many words per page for my toddler so in theory it was a great addition. In reality, the combination of white words on Navy, small print, and long uncommon words makes it literally difficult to read. The story is cute but be prepared to need good lighting.
