The first silly moment during Goat's bedtime routine was cute, but the repetition at each stop had me thinking that reading this one with your little might spark a lot of rebellion during their own bedtime process. I also couldn't particularly tell what silly thing Goat was doing in two of the illustrations. It does end sweetly with Goat's parent calming and tucking them in.

This is easily my 2 year old's favorite book. it's silly and makes her laugh, but also helps us put her down at night by mimicking the book's nighttime language of calming our bodies and closing our eyes. No more sillies little goat.

The Mom goat’s lips on the last page looks like she’s cannibalizing her baby. It’s super creepy. But, my 5 year old thought it was funny. So, 🤷🏻‍♀️
