This Classic Board Book edition of Good Night, World is a charming bedtime book that celebrates the wonders of the natural world.
Good night sun and other stars,
good night Saturn, Venus, Mars.
Elsewhere in the world its light,
its morning there, but here its night.
As the sun sets from east to west, this soothing board book takes children on a magical round-the-world journey to bid good night to the worlds natural wonders, from plants and animals to mountains, oceans, and wide desert plains. Willa Perlmans soothing, lyrical text combines with Carolyn Fishers sweeping illustrations to paint a vivid picture of everything, everywhere going to sleepincluding an imaginative little boy.
"Splendid pictures that navigate the earth as night arrives and a small blond-haired child's sweet wonder at the imagined journey raise this offering above most going-to-bed books.... By the time the child curls up in an earth-blue ball filled with the shadowy outlined shapes of the animals encountered in the good-night litany, listeners will be ready for their own sweet dreams.... This is a beautiful addition to a traditional picturebook topic."
