Would have liked the story if the children in the book had been better behaved.
Ages: 3 - 7
Here’s a few of our bedtime favs: watch my reel!

With each review, I provide Content Considerations, mentioning any objectionable content I come across so that parents and/or conscientious readers (like me) can determine beforehand whether they want to read a book or not. Content surprises are super annoying, especially when you’re 100+ pages in, so here’s my attempt to help you avoid that!

This book shows the struggle between parents and kids who don't want to go to sleep. The kids' responses are cute and made me chuckle, and the illustrations are great. Don't read this at bedtime though, it definitely won't help them get to sleep. In fact, it might give them a few stalling tactics to try out.

Usually kids' books like this get only 2 stars from me (or 1 star if children are mouthing off to their parents), but I couldn't help but enjoy the final parting shot. Maybe it's the bad little boy in me.

"Good Night" may be in the title but don't be fooled---this is not a soothing lullaby. Best pulled off as a readaloud to small audiences due to the extensive detail in the illustrations *my audience of 2 enjoyed following a character throughout the story and commenting on what they were doing*, this title is a fun book about all the reasons that children do not go to bed at night...from pillow fight to hide and seek to the allusive perfect book choice.

A call and response book about parents trying to put their kids to bed. The language is so little that it’s hard to follow what is trying to be conveyed.

If you're not reading this with voices and with a small child, you're not getting it. It's hilarious!

Not at all soothing, this one would be much better one-on-one than as a group read. The illustrations at the beginning are pretty detailed and it would greatly increase the enjoyment of the book if the reader could spend time pouring over them. I won't be using it for story time, but it will definitely make some kid laugh out loud.

Such a great book with a topic that gets delt with every day - going to sleep. It is funny. The book could be used in conjuction with a writing sequencing lesson about what each child does to fall asleep at night. Writing a paper on opinions of what they like and don not like.

Good Night Pillow Fight is a cute, short, silly book that discusses trying to go to bed. The book is a good tool to use when teaching phonemic awareness, as it is written in a rhyming style. I would recommend this book for preschool and up.

This is one of my favorite children's books. I had so much fun reading it to my kids.

Don't read it at bedtime!! Not soothing at all, but pretty funny in it's criptic broken sentences. Bright and colorful illustrations.

When kids and parents conflict on when it's bedtime, this is what happens.

Cute and easy book about getting kids to bed. Great for developing readers!

Super cute!

Trying to get kids to go to asleep can be quite a task. Learn new rhyming words while trying to get kids to go to bed. This book is good for the younger grades to point out rhyming words.

Great to teach students rhyming words. Students could list all the rhyming words found in the book as it is read. Could be used for K-2nd.

Great fun! Move on from this to the illustrator's even more wonderfull picture books in collaboration with Jamie lee Curtis.

This would be good for a nighttime or pajama storytime.

This book was fun to read as we can all likely relate to bedtime being difficult. The book shares what you'd assume is the parents words and then what the kids either hear or actually do.

The ultimate bed time back-and-forth between parents and kids. My kids loved it for YEARS!

This was funnier to me than it was to my kids. I'd say it's more of a book for adults.

CUTE, BUT PROBABLY TOO SHORT FOR PAJAMA STORYTIME. WILL SET ASIDE AS BACK UP.
