A basic bedtime book, this one follows a child who says good night to many different things in the world, such as roads, animals, planets, water, etc. A small black bird flies through each page, offering continuity for each dreamlike illustration. The illustrations are very bright and not ideal if sleep-inducement is intended while reading this book. The title and inside flap summary are rather misleading, as this reviewer was expecting a book about saying good night in different parts of the wo...more
In rhyming text a young boy and a bird bid good night to the world. After pondering the fact that while it's night time where he is, it's dawn somewhere else, he proceeds to say good night to the sun, stars, and planets, and then moves to various geographical locales, including the desert and the mountains, and to the animals of the field and air until he wishes a good night's sleep to "every living thing" (unpaginated). This one would be a great read aloud. Backmatter includes ways to say good...more
A nice rhyming book about night time all around the world. Fit perfectly for our Night Family Story Time during the Summer Reading Program of "Dream Big Read." At the end of the book there is the word good night in about 20 languages.
Following the pattern of Good Night Moon, Good Night World follows the bedtime mindset of one small child as they prepare for slumber. Carolyn Fisher's stunning, muted pallete nicely compliments the mood and tone of Perlman's text.
Very sweet. Would make a great bedtime story for toddlers and preschoolers. Reminded me of Goodnight Moon. Same rhythmic patterns as you read aloud.
Choose this as a wonderful gift to new parents, toddlers.

Liked the illustrations. Difficult to imagine a young child going to bed and saying goodnight to all the various features of the earth and universe as depicted in these illustrations.
Beautifully illustrated, some rhyming, and love the last page on how to say good night in different languages. - Gute nacht (German, goot-eh nakht)
I used this beautiful book in a night themed storytime. It's a sweet and simpy readaloud and would make a wonderful bedtime story.
This is a beautiful, beautiful book! Wonderful illustrations and lyrical rhyming make this a good read aloud!
"Good Night World" had very nice illustrations with good colors and relaxing images. It is a very pleasant read.
Beautiful Illustrations, i really like the "Saying Good Night Around the World" at the end of the book.
LIttle child says good night to the "turning earth" including "deserts, mountains and oceans"
This one seems too much like an environmental Goodnight moon with prettier pictures.
Beautiful illustrations, a few words on each page = perfect bedtime story
The "good night"s in different languages at the end was beautiful.
Very cute book about the world going to bed.
Summer reading.
Summer reading.
Includes how to say good night in other languages.
A twist on good-night moon. Nice illustrations.
Good bedtime reading.
In the tradition of "Goodnight Moon," this gentle, soothing text wishes a good night to places and things all around the world.
