Customer Reviews

Very cute book :) but every page was torn :(

This book was a gift for my 4 year old and we read it almost every night but she was sad her new book had almost every page torn.

Love this bedtime book!

This is a very sweet bedtime book. It has adorable illustrations and it's a fun read, telling the story of how various animals might say goodnight (like the rhino and her baby tapping their horns together and the peacocks dancing their feather fans). My kids and I enjoy reading this one together and they love to name the animals as we go along.

Our daughter's current favorite

A really fun book for parents and kids alike with a great rhyming flow, tons of interesting animals (some that were "new" to our daughter's everyday animal knowledge), and a cute "refrain" that has mamma sloth and her cub "still kissing goodnight" throughout the book (because they're slow).

bought as a gift

I bought this as a gift for my friends 3 year old and she LOVES it! The pictures are cute, the story is cute, and it makes for a fun family read.

If Animals Kissed Good Night

This is one of the cutest kids books that I've read. It is written extremely well with a sing-song, rhyming pattern. It will definitely be a book that I give as a gift!
