Hop into bed,
Turn over thrice,
And whisper this softly:
Night's nice, night's nice, night's nice.
Good Night.

What a perfect bedtime book! I absolutely love this little book and I am not giving it up. *grin* "Caldecott Award winners Ed and Barbara Emberley capture the wonder of nighttime in this reissued bedtime classic." Little many many reasons of why night is a nice thing, the sound and rhythm of this short story is relaxing and is sure to work some wonders on aiding your little one to sleep. I highly recommend it for all homes!

Delightful book about all the nice things about the night. Art is in Ed Emberley's signature style for his learn-to-draw books: charming fine-line drawings with rich colors. Poetry is simple without being sing-songy, and the story subtly puts across the message that the night is not scary.
Great for displays (the front cover has a cut-out letting a yellow moon show through), for small-group read-alouds, and for kids afraid of the dark.

An amazing bed-time story to help cure those little ones who are afraid of the dark. Wonderful poetry paints a bright picture for all the reasons night is nice. The moon, stars and city lights, fireflies, firework and the list goes on. The mantra at the end has become my daughter's personal saying when she notices the sun going down and realizes night is about to aproach. "Night's nice, night's nice, night's nice."
This is a nice, soothing story about the wonders of nighttime. It would be a great book to read with a child who is afraid of the dark, to help show some of the nice, happy things that happen at night. The rhyming narrative and cartoonish illustrations make this a fun story to read aloud.
Great night-time tale of yellow-eyed cats, bats, rockets (fireworks), holidays and places that make night-time magical written with poetry, first published in 1962, this book is still a gem.
this is one of Sara's new Favorite picture books for bedtime. It's a cute story. Oh but the rhyming and at bedtime drives me crazy. She loves it though so we read it together.
A really cute and fun read about why Night is nice...and why we need Night. An excellent book for those kids who may be afraid of the night.
How about, this book is nice? I love Ed Emberley's illustrations. This would be a great bedtime book for kids who are afraid of the dark.
Beautiful artwork! I don't have kids, but I'm betting it would make a nice bedtime story.
Read at Baby/Toddler Story Time (4th of July Edition) on 7/3/12: http://storytimesecrets.blogspot.com/...
Has that "books I read as a kid in the sixties" appeal.
A quiet bedtime story.
