Night-Night, Little Pookie
It's evening, and mom patiently eases Pookie toward bed. Pookie cooperates (mostly)—though with that particular Pookie flair. And imagine who gets the last word.
Told in Boynton’s signature rhyme and illustrations, this humorous and gentle story will delight toddlers and those that love them.

There are a few stalwarts of the office cubicle, and cartoons, greeting cards and ceramica by the American Sandra Boynton are just some of them. You've seen her work before, even if you haven't seen her work before: odd, proto-versions of bug-eyed and confused animals staring at you, wishing you a happy 40th, Valentine's Day gone wrong, and the like. It's natural that she would have quite a developed oeuvre in children's books.

We picked up this book because my son has enjoyed many of Boynton's other titles. He didn't really get into this book until recently though (19-20 months). I think the illustrations were too simple at first, with a white background and not a lot of objects for him to label. Now that he's a little older and getting into the "plot" of the books, he's really latched on to this one. It's a brief story of Pookie getting ready for bed, but there's lots of motions we can act out together (brushing teet...more
Every December the preschool does a holiday book swap. Each child brings in a wrapped book and then gets to pick a book from the pile to open and keep. Night-Night Little Pookie by Sandra Boynton was the last book we will ever get from the exchange now that Harriet is in her final year at the school.
Sandra Boynton is a popular author in our house, although it's been ages since we've read any of her books. Night-Night Little Pookie was our first Pookie book but an instant hit with Harriet.

This is a perfect bedtime story for children ages 0-5. I read this book to my nephew, Nathan, all the time and he loves it! The rhyming and simple words are easy for me to read and easy for him to hear and understand. He is 2 years old and is still learning to speak so books like these aid his development of speaking. I think if I were to take this book into the classroom, I'd read it to Pre-K students during nap time.
Violet loves the Pookie stories. Possibly because they are about a child being sweetly cared for by his mother, something easy to identify with for children and also a big part of their lives. I also enjoy these sweet stories and the opportunities to use both a mom and baby voice. It make Vi laugh.
Abe and I read this to Lydia the other night, and we loved the illustrations! (Sadly, she can't enjoy them for a while, but hopefully she liked the repetitive lull of all the "night nights".)
Last night, three-year old William “read" this to baby sister. He did a good job following the pictures, more or less, but luckily the real story is a little better.
Excellent book in true Boynton style. If you're a parent (or going to be one) of small children, this book should be in your personal library.
Brought it to my 21 month old grandson. We had to read it five times in a row and once again at nap time. Lots of giggling. Big hit!
My son and I love the Pookie books! He became the Birthday Pook on his first birthday, and has been our little Pook ever since!
Awww. Too cute. That darn Sandra Boynton is just too clever. Just a really sweet(without being cloying)bedtime rhyme.
Another wonderfully sweet bedtime story. Only 4 stars because my little one gets bored about halfway through.
My son loves the Sandra Boynton books. They are also very fun for me to read to him, as they are all so cute.
We always give three kisses before bed and have done so for years, so this book is especially sweet to us.
This is the last book we read before my naps and every night before bed.
this book is in such heavy rotation Bianca "reads" it to me!
One of our favorite short bedtime books.
Nice bed time story that allows for interaction.
It's time for Little Pookie to go bed.
Love, love, love Boynton books!
A great book for getting kids to sleep.
So cute, another winner for kids
My son LOVES this book!!
Robbie's favorite book.
Kids liked it
24 months - another of the Pookie books which O always enjoys but I get tired of quickly. They are just not as fun as Barnyard Dance, 15 Animals and Pajama Time etc.
Not my favorite of the Pookie books, but the lower rating is just in comparison to some other Boynton books. Still a lot of fun.
This is always my son's last book before bed. The three kisses and the poem at the end are a special part of our bedtime routine.
I love Little Pookie.
