Happy book birthday to GOOD NIGHT NOAH by Eric Walters and illustrated by Eugenie Fernandes, out today from Orca Book Publishers!
“Youngsters will likely quickly pick up the story’s pattern and join in making the animals’ sounds and echoing Noah’s response. Recommended.” ― CM: Canadian Review of Materials
This call-and-response board book with animals is perfect for your bedtime routine. A young child imagines all of his animal friends have come to life as he says good night to each of them before tucking in to sleep. “Moo,” says the cow. “Good night, cow,” says Noah. With hints on each page of the animal featured on the following page, the simple, repetitive text will encourage your little reader to wish their own stuffed animals sweet dreams as they snuggle down for the evening.
