This children’s book, Goodnight
Angels, by Melody Carlson, illustrated by Sophie Allsopp is designed as a
board book and it tells a bedtime story.
The illustrations are colorful and have some fun details that help tell
the story of a little boy’s bedtime routine.
It follows a little boy around his house while he says goodnight to
people and things that surround him.
The story is a prayer to God, thanking Him for the blessings
of the day. It is very similar to the book Goodnight
Moon. This book is comparable in its size, feel, and cadence to that
beloved book.
The illustrations are very pleasing. They capture a day in
the life of a little boy. It includes
images of his family, a playground, a dog, toys, bath time, and being tucked
into bed. It gently steps the reader and
listener through a predictable bedtime routine.
It ends with the little boy getting sleepy as he thanks God for his
blessings, and says goodnight to the angels who are watching over him.
I received this book
free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers
program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have
expressed are my own.
