In the story a young boy says goodbye to his friends at the playground and heads home with his mom and dad. He wishes the friends a Good Night. Then he continues to wish things Good Night such as his wagon (that he took to the playground), his pets, his bedtime snack, his rubber duckie and toothbrush.
Once in bed the little boy says Good Night to his dad but asks for a bedtime story. He says Good Night to his mom and asks her to tuck him in. He says Good Night to God and finally to the angels watching over him.
It’s a pleasant enough book that would make a good bedtime read. There are a couple of changes that I think would make the book better. Since it is a board book it will probably be read to little ones. The boy in the story looks to be older. It might have been more fun to make him younger. Also I don’t like that the author refers to God as Father God. ( I don’t like to think of God as a gender.) The price on the back of the book is $7.99. I thought this was a little steep for a board book. I’ve seen some good hard cover books for this price.
The book Goodnight, Angels by melody Carlson is a cute read. It is a 12 page “board book” designed for little ones. There are two lines of rhyming text on every other page. The illustrations are by Sophie Allsopp. They are simple but yet, realistic.
