If you are looking for a good bedtime story to quietly ready your child for sleep, then check out Melody Carlson’s board book Goodnight, Angels. Detailed and colorful illustrations by Sophie Allsopp add to the simple message of a little boy getting ready for bed. Similar to Goodnight, Moon, this children’s book reinforces God’s love and care. The story follows a little boy as he winds up his day — from bath time, bedtime snacks to bedtime prayers. The slow, repetitive language will surely lull your child to sleep as he comes to understand that God is truly watching over him. The target audience is ages 4-7 and is great for pre-K to new readers.

This is a delightful story that follows a little boy as he prepares for bed, saying “Good night” to
everyone and everything. This is a heavy duty board book made sturdy enough for young children.

The illustrations are softly colorful and detailed with scenes that start outside at play and then move into the house, as he prepares for bed. He takes time to say good night to his toys, his dog, and his parents. He also says goodnight to God and thanks Him for his blessings, love and care.

This is a nice bedtime story by Melody Carlson with pictures by Sophie Allsopp. It is the kind of story that will help an active child settle down and prepare for bed. The illustrations allow the child to point out household items and toys as they listen.

I received a copy of this book through the BookLook blogger program in exchange for an honest review. ( )
