Book Review: Good Night, Blue Summary: 4 Stars
ISBN 0689829507 - Steve Burns' fans will be thrilled to find him here; current fans of Blue, those who've only known the show with Donovan Patton, might not be so excited by that, but they'll still enjoy a sleep over at Blue's house! The illustrations by Jenine Pontillo are almost straight from the TV show, absolutely perfect.
Steve greets you when you arrive for your sleep over at Blue's house. After welcoming you, he and Blue take you step-by-step through the preparations for bed. From brushing your teeth to a bedtime song, you're in bed and ready for a story... until Steve remembers you've just had one!
The "story" is told by Steve, just as the show was. Rather than give orders (like Mom does!), Steve asks "What do we do next?", gently leading Blue and the reader. There is a lot of text (by Angela C. Santomero) - this isn't so much a book that you'd read at bedtime, when you've got your kid tucked in, but more something you'd read as you go through your bedtime routine. That might make it a tough book to enjoy for those who like to curl up and read but, then again, it just might make the entire "brush your teeth, go to bed" routine a little less a routine chore.

Book Review: Bedtime, Step-by-step! Summary: 4 Stars
This book is excellent for the 2-3 crowd, providing a step-by-step guide to going to bed. My kids love the Blue's Clues theme and pictures, and relate well to the book. We especially like that included Blue on the potty, it gives a definite step-by-step structure to the task of going to bed, and it did not include a bath (so many bedtime books include a bath, and my child's bath-time is in the mid-afternoon). However, it is a little wordy, and you are in the persona of Steve, which my children found a little off-putting; for Steve to talk, they want Steve's voice! We just disregard the words and make up our own. When my kids are closer to reading age, with long attention spans, we'll actually read the words.
Book Review: Good bed-time book - but no clues Summary: 4 Stars
This is a nice little book for walking your child through a bedtime routine. It doesn't require any familiarity with Blue's Clues for it to make sense and be a good bed-time read. However, if your child (like mine) is a Blue's Clues nut, and constantly scanning for clues, this book may cause some dissapointment at first. He got over it though, and now makes up his own clues as he goes through the book. Good stuff.
Book Review: Cute little book Summary: 4 Stars
This is a pretty cute little book. We got it for our 16 month old who loves to look at books before bed. The cover is soft and the pages are hard cardboard like so it's really sturdy. It's exactly what I thought it would be, but it's not very long at all. Short and sweet about what Blue needs to do before she goes to bed.
