How do parents say good night to their little ones all over the world? Simply and sweetly, but in many different languages.

Featuring "good night" in 10 different languages, each is introduced with a short poem that usually rhymes with the pronunciation. Illustrated with full color renditions of cultural families enjoying the end of the day together, the name of the country and a phonetic spelling helps the novice language speaker say it right.

Most of the rhymes didn't track well, but they weren't necessary and not obnoxious. This was very sweet. I like that the languages featured weren't necessarily spoken in the country you'd automatically think of (Cameroon for French, Singapore for Chinese, etc.) so kids can see how languages are spread around the world. Very good basic intro to the idea of language using the bedtime story theme.

Honestly such a cute language primer - you learn so many different ways to say goodnight, and Dallin loves repeating the phrases back to me in the different languages.
