A Sweet Bedtime Story They'll Want to Read Again and Again

Night Night, Farm, is so sweet. Through soft illustrations, rhyming statements, and involved "touch and feel" features, kiddies can say goodnight to a sheep, pigs, cattle, horses, kittens, chickens, and more. In an element I especially liked, kids say goodnight to God, too. There are sweet little mice on each page to follow as well.

I'm pre-disposed to liking farm-related anything; especially for kids (I just want them to appreciate farm life, you know?). But I really like this cute story. Every spread has a touch-and-feel element! This means sheep's wool is curly, piggies are silky, and cat's fur is actually as soft as it looks. The story is made real for children as they touch the items on the page.

I'm picky about illustrations. In children's books, they have to be cutesy and soft all at once. I don't want boring, adult-looking illustrations when kids have such bright imaginations. All that said, I loved the artwork in this book (the illustrator is award-winning for a reason!). The font style is also child-friendly; thick and round letters add a friendly tone to the text.

My guess is this book will become the standard bedtime read that kids will want over and over again.

As a board book, this book works great for 2-5 year olds, especially as the tactile pages will encourage them to "read" in their own way.
