Book Reviews of The Going-To-Bed Book
Book Review: Just Ok.
Summary: 3 Stars
My son (now two) has long loved Boynton's "Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs," so given the glowing reviews I assumed he might love this one too. I was mistaken. This book is a little overly simple -- if you have other Boynton books that have a lot for a child to see and absorb (descriptive features, opposites to compare, etc), this is not similar. I assume it's toned down with going to sleep in mind, but boring a child to sleep is not what *I* had in mind. I give it three stars because I do think it might be nice for a quick read to a one year old or so, but for older kids its just not right.
Summary of The Going-To-Bed Book
Serious silliness for all ages. Artist Sandra Boynton is back and better than ever with completely redrawn versions of her multi-million selling board books. These whimsical and hilarious books, featuring nontraditional texts and her famous animal characters, have been printed on thick board pages, and are sure to educate and entertain children of all ages.For a little one who is reluctant to go to bed, sometimes a silly book is just the ticket. And when it comes to silly books, Sandra Boynton is the undisputed queen. In The Going to Bed Book, an ark full of animals watches the sun go down and then prepares for bed. They take a bath ("in one big tub"), find pajamas, brush their teeth, do exercises up on deck (imagine an elephant jumping rope, a moose lifting weights, and a pig doing handstands), and finally say good night.
The moon is high. The sea is deep.Boynton's inimitable animal characters have graced the pages of scads of picture books over the years. She has an extraordinary knack for knowing what appeals to small children: simple rhymes, goofy animals in goofy settings, and sweet, comforting stories. This book, along with her many other board-book titles (Moo, Baa, La La La!, But Not the Hippopotamus, and others) will surely remain a favorite. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
