Review
Another adorable and very useful board book by Patricelli; Nighty-Night will win the hearts of toddlers and their caregivers. Baby goes through a special routine before bedtime without any uncomfortable moments or tears. The illustrations are life like and amusing starting with a bowl of spaghetti on the toddler's head and ending with him/her sleeping peacefully. Color is used to represent the setting sun and the dark of nightfall. In between several bright backgrounds complement the family members, pets and of course the loved bear. Parents of babies and toddlers who lack sleeping skills will want to use this book nightly. Like other titles in this series Nighty-Night is a great baby shower or baby's first birthday gift. Libraries who collect board books will want to add this title.
Overall Book Score: very good
