This is a Children's book that a read to my twin boys. I found this book to be cute and fun. The books pictures was super cute, and I love that each letters pages as an animal that also starts with that letter. I really loved this book, and this book was a fun read. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Sourcebooks Wonderland) or author (Erin Guendelsberger) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

My baby loves how many pages there are to flip.

Great rhymes.

A wonderful array of animals. Quokkas? Whoever heard of quokkas in any book! Kind of a cop-out, though, using foxes for ‘X’ since all babies know and love Xoloitzcuintlis.

But my nine-month-old son is merciful and forgives the condescension.

Five stars.

Thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Kids, Sourcebooks Wonderland for a free digital copy.

A very adorable alphabet book revolving around bedtime. All the animal illustrations are darling and bonus each letter's animals start with that letter!

Goodnight ABCs
A Bedtime Alphabet Lullaby

Children will easily and happily drift off to dream land with Goodnight ABCs, through its endearing bedtime messages and sweet pictures. Each letter of the alphabet is accompanied by a slumber themed word or phrase and a lovable animal, along with a short passage.
Guendelsberger's engaging board book narrative, paired with Twin's pleasant pictures, combine for a book that is a charming educational lullaby. Educators and parents will appreciate the gentle introduction and teaching of early literacy skills of vocabulary, expressive language, rhyme and letters. All of these skills encourage a good early background in literacy. Spending time reading to children at bedtime, naptime, or anytime builds their social, emotional, and language development.
As a retired speech and language pathologist, I think this book is perfect for the bookshelves of preschools, daycare centers, and therapy centers, as well as children's bedrooms and nurseries. New parents would appreciate this book as a gift, maybe along with a soft, snuggly sleeptime blanket!
Thank you to Net Galley, SOURCEBOOKS KIDS, and Sourcebooks Wonderland for the advance reader's copy and opportunity to provide my unbiased review.

A book that really does manage to do all it intends to do – and actually does more than I realised, too. This is a rhyming lullaby, that does tuck us in with love and kisses and makes us feel all safe and cosy at night, and this is an A-Z with each letter getting a page, but blow me – I got halfway through before I realised the family group illustrating each stage of falling asleep was made of animals starting with the same letter as the subject of the line of poetry. How observant of that there semi-pro book reviewer, you'll agree! The point is, however, not how badly I approached this, but how well the creators approached it, and put the unexpected little bit of thought and work into things. So it's two A-Zs, and it will educate in the daytime as well as soothe and lull later on. I think that deserves five stars.

This book is sweetly illustrated with an animal parent and child for each letter. So, for example, there is a baby and parent owl for “O.” The short text uses “Once upon a time” as the phrase that includes the letter. The text of two letter pairs rhymes. For example, “I is for Imagine. We Love to Pretend” and “J is for Jammies as the day comes to an end.” (Of course this needs to be checked against the final text.)

The book is one that could definitely be added to a young child’s bedtime story collection.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own.

AHH that was so cute! I loved all the little illustrations and I could see this being a lot of fun to read with a child at bedtime.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Kids for providing me with a temporary digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! It uses different words for the letter than the pictures but the pictures all start with that letter. Really cute pictures with a good flow. Sometimes books like this are blah but this one is great.

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.

Kind of insipid though cute, but going straight from unicorn to vulture gets it another star for sheer entertainment factor.

2.5 stars

Illustrations were ok, words/lyrics a bit lackluster.

[Daisy Sager · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is super cute. Each page has an animal that corresponds with the letter as well as a going to bed activity. Very well done.

[Gia Bittner · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a sweet book for bedtime! 🥹 We liked that the animals in each illustration also matched that page’s letter. Very fun!
