Books with title Good Night, Dear God

Waking-up moments and cozy bedtimes provide an opportunity for parentsand youngsters to spend quiet time together. The simple, treasured rituals thatstart each day-a playful tickle, a giggle, a reassuring hug-and the familiarevening activities that end it-a bath, a favorite bedtime story, a warm snuggle-are charmingly rendered in these two board books.

On a beautiful fall afternoon after the rain, a young boy and his father go for a walk in the park. As the sun begins to set and father and son return home, the boy says goodnight to all his favorite and familiar friends - the squirrels, the deer, the mouse, and the cats. As he prepares for bed, the boy says goodnight to his stuffed bears, his mom and dad, and most especially to his Creator. Vividly illustrated with jewel-tone paintings, Good Night God is a restful and reassuring bedtime story.

Many of North America’s most beloved regions are artfully celebrated in these boardbooks designed to soothe children before bedtime while instilling an early appreciation for the continent’s natural and cultural wonders. Each book stars a multicultural group of people visiting the featured area’s attractions—such as the Rocky Mountains in Denver, the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Lake Ontario in Toronto, and volcanoes in Hawaii. Rhythmic language guides children through the passage of both a single day and the four seasons while saluting the iconic aspects of each place.

Two inviting board books illustrate a single word on each page - then put them all together in a surprise pop-up ending.Children love to learn the words that correspond to special objects in their life - and so do Bear and Monkey! BEAR'S GOOD NIGHT follows Bear in a sequence of cheery scenes - riding on Monkey, holding a look-alike teddy, gazing at the moon, showing off his plaid slippers, and absorbed in a picture book. This time the final spread merits a double take, as a sleeping Monkey and Bear pop up in bed with the teddy, slippers, and book strewn around them - under a quilt that looks like the real night sky with its crescent moon.
