Good Night Tahoe
All aboard this alliterative alphabetical adventure before bedtime. This dream-like "Good Night" journey takes the reader on a tour to meet Lake Tahoe’s native and common baby animals while they are enjoying recreational activities in some of the most remarkable places that make the lake region so magical. Beddy-bye bear is boating; the coyote is camping in Carson City; the raccoon is rafting in Reno; the trout is tubing in Truckee; and many more surprises. It is a book that reminds us of the incomparable beauty of Lake Tahoe. The places we have been, and want to visit. The animals that we have seen, and hope to see. And, the winter and summer activities that we have done, and dream of doing.

Good Night Tahoe is a cutie animal and places (in Tahoe) book with ABC for the kids. Each page has an animal, city, and alliterations to describe them. The animals come with cool expressions (some outright cheeky and funny).
There isn’t any story except for the list of animals (real and mythical) from A to Z. The illustrations look like digital art and are certainly vibrant. Kids will love to check out the details on each page (though it will extend the bedtime, lol). The book also serves as a short guide to different places you can visit in Tahoe.
To summarize, Good Night Tahoe will be a great choice for bedtime stories and read-aloud sessions with little ones.

This is a cute children's book. It's structured like the ABC and every letter of the alphabet gets a location in the Tahoe area, an animal and an activity the animal is doing.
The book is educational and fun. The children can learn the alphabet and also get introduced to the area and the wildlife. All that is supported by really beautiful illustrations which are very colorful and animated.
Thank you to NetGally and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book.

While this would obviously be a great book for families who live in, or have ties to, the Reno/Tahoe area, it's also a generally appealing alphabet practice book. Each page features a letter, place, animal, and activity using the featured letter so kids have many pathways to make connections and relate to the letter, whether it's love of animals, sports, etc.
The illustrations are vivid, detailed, and super cute! They will engage young readers and hold their attention nicely. The "good night" theme works well for bedtime, of course, but this is lively enough to be used for circle time or general letter instruction during the day as well. This has a lot to recommend it and could be a real hit with preschoolers!
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

This was another adorable picture book set in the heart of Lake Tahoe. We first meet our tired bear cub who is getting ready for bed, but before he can go to sleep - he must say goodnight to all his friends scattered around Lake Tahoe. The picture book is a great way to teach your children the alphabet as each page starts with the letter of the alphabet and continues right from A to Z. The illustrations drawn by Michael Furuya are also very beautiful and stand out in this cute story. The other thing I loved about Goodnight Tahoe does not only teach your children the alphabet but also for older children - the skill of alliteration as each page only contains a sentence where each word begins with the same letter egg all A words on the "A" page. Therefore, Goodnight Tahoe by Kevin Sullivan and Michael Furuya is the perfect picture book for children aged 3 -6 years old.

I have mixed feelings about this book. It is an ABC board book, but my 3 year old grandson didn't have the vocabulary to really enjoy all this book had to offer, which makes me think it is better geared to older children. It is a book saying goodnight to animals, the places they might be and activities that could be done in the Lake Tahoe area. Each page is wonderfully illustrated and the text is an alliteration using the letters of the alphabet. Examples are: All Asleep, Alpine Meadows and the antelope air ballooning, Good night Glenbrook and the gopher golfing or Just sleep, Jobs Peak and the jackrabbit jetskiing. My older two grandchildren enjoyed the various activities and thought it was funny that animals were doing these things. The oldest wanted to find a map of the area to see if these places were real, which we did and he was quite interested. This would be an awesome book to read before a trip to the area, or to teach about it. I can't say enough about the wonderful, whimsical illustrations.

This is the cutest little picture book! With an abc structure, each page says goodnight to a different animal living in the Tahoe area, along with a location starting with the same letter. Having lived near Lake Tahoe for many years, I recognized each spot and loved seeing each one illustrated in an adorable and whimsical way.
This is a great book for practicing the alphabet, as well as learning different animals and the geography of Lake Tahoe. It would be perfect for preschool or kinder classrooms, as well as for parents of young children (especially those who live in or want to learn about Northern Nevada/California).
My niece and nephew live in that region, and I definitely plan to buy the book for them once it’s published! Thanks so much to Netgalley for the advanced electronic edition!

I am a Nana of 5, and as such have littles with a lot of different likes and attitudes. They have their own bookshelf at my house and I try to fill it with a variety so I am always on the lookout for different and fun books.
Good Night Tahoe is a great way to share the alphabet with those littles who also love the outdoors. It's also a good one for the sleepy time routines. I honestly enjoyed this one a lot. Probably more so than my grands will LOL
The illustrations are bright and vivid, with all sorts of animals to introduce to kids. This would be a great one to have in kindergarten classroom libraries. I will be snagging a hard copy for mine.
I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.

Very cute animal ABC book with emphasis on the Lake Tahoe area. I love the colorful illustrations and the focus on alliteration. I’ve vacationed in Tahoe several times and was happy to see animals in some of my favorite spots. Places like Vikingsholm, Emerald Bay, Incline Village and the ski lifts at Heavenly. I don’t know about a national market but for sure this would be a great learning souvenir for people who live or visit the Tahoe/Reno area. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and Beary Tahoe (Independent Book Publishers Association) for this temporary eARC in exchange for a review.

Quick Summary: Vibrant illustrations and alluring alliteration
My Review: Good Night TAHOE was a super cute read. I loved how the author and the illustrator introduced readers to the creatures, locations, and pursuits associated with the region. I think children will love learning about the area habitat.
This book is so colorful that it will immediately capture the attention of the young. Also, it is very educational and teaches about animals that many kids may not know of or be familiar with.
The ABC model should prove to be quite helpful. I appreciated the rhythm and the flow of the content. Additionally, the alliteration used will be a huge draw for those who like that literary device.
I think teachers, librarians, and families will enjoy this book. It would be a great gift, and it would be a wonderful nature study resource.
My Final Say: I was attracted to this book because the cover drew me in, and I wanted to see more. I'm so glad that I read it. I will be recommending Good Night TAHOE to our local librarian for their Book Buddies program and/or for the Saturday Read Aloud sessions.

Good Night, Tahoe
4.5
This is a great, toddler age picture book. I loved the bright and colorful illustrations; they're so charming and fun. As a parent, I'm excited Good Night, Tahoe is filled with good educational opportunities to engage our little ones. Such as, learning ABC's, phonics, animals, and summer and winter activities. This book is also a good resource for children with speech issues, like developmental delays or verbally apraxia. This book isolates each letter, for example, Rest, Reno and the raccoon rafting.
It's pretty neat, it's possible to take a trip to Lake Tahoe and see these animals in person and try some fun activities at the lake. That said, I don't think I'd use this book to put my child to sleep. The pictures aren't muted enough for nighttime(imo) and the animals are doing some pretty interesting, and attention grabbing stuff for bedtime. Though I'd highly recommend this book for pre-k & kindergarteners teachers, speech therapists, and it's a great choice for any library. A great hidden gem.

A very good book that does a heck of a lot more than I would have wanted to set myself as a challenge. It’s a lullaby, it’s an A-Z, it’s an animal book, and it’s a tribute to the Lake Tahoe region. Every letter gets not one but four things – a wording appropriate to the act of wishing someone goodnight, a place, and an animal doing something there. You see what I mean if I quote the cutest visual – “very sweet dreams, Vikingholm, and the vole vacationing”. There is what I assume to be Vikingholm, and the vole on a twiggy little lounger under a mushroom sun canopy.
I have to assume all the representations of the sites and all the specific critters are fine, and they certainly look great, with that CG cartoon sheen you get from digitally-created art. This will mean little outside Lake Tahoe (or the souvenir bags of visitors with youngsters), but as a gift book for those in the region this hits every spot. And to that select audience, I hope they appreciate the effort in what looks an easy accomplishment. It couldn’t have been, which is why I give this five full stars, as all books that clearly go above and beyond deserve.

An alliterative alphabetic good night to areas of the Tahoe region of California and Nevada, that imagines many of the native animal species doing alliterative activities.
This is not your normal nature ABC book. It leans more towards Graeme Base’s Animalia minus all the background hidden pictures. Each animal native to the Tahoe area is imagined in a certain area doing a certain activity, and what activities they are! From weasels waterskiing to trout tubing, they are wildly imaginative, incredibly humorous, and done in a style that’s so cute. Not sure how well this will calm down a child getting ready for bed, as they are likely to be squealing with delight at the fanciful illustrations, but it is undeniably fun. Highly recommended to anyone who likes imaginative and humorous picture books, above average ABC books, the Tahoe area, and superb artwork.

This is a sweet bedtime board book showcasing adorable baby animals that are having the time of their lives in and around a beautiful place named Tahoe.
Talented author Kevin Sullivan and accomplished illustrator Michael Furuya partner up using alliterations and beautiful illustrations that introduce kids to local animals as they enjoy fun recreational activities.
The book is both fun and educational. It gives kids a glimpse of the beauty of Lake Tahoe plus a very unique way to learn the alphabet.
Sullivan hopes to inspire families to share books together while providing an educational component on sustaining the land we now love, and for future generations. I love the book, learned a lot myself, and hopefully I can visit Tahoe myself to see these wonderful animals up-close and personal. The illustrations are exceptional and kids will love them. I highly recommend " Good Night Tahoe" .

I love Lake Tahoe and we have made some really fun memories with our kids visiting here. When I saw there was a young children's book inspired by the area I was super excited to read it to my kids.
I was pleasantly surprised when I found that this is an alphabet book that on each page is geared towards something related to Lake Tahoe and animal that lives there. Such as "Very sweet dreams, Vikingsholm and the vole vacationing. Page has at least 2 to 3 words that start with the letter for that page. The author does a great job somehow making it work (with maybe the exception of a Unicorn, but meh kids love unicorns).
The illustrations is not my favorite style, 3Dish making the animals look a tad bit strange or off. However the pictures are colorful and pretty, The animals all look like they are having the best time of their lives doing these activities.

An alliterated ABC book that combines Nevada tourist attractions with native animals enjoying recreational activities is definitely a unique story. The lines are really pretty clever, such as, “Nighty night, Northstar and the northern flying squirrel napping.” Or “Pleasant dreams, Pope House and the porcupine paddle boarding.” The illustrations are brilliant, with soothing colors and soft edges that are perfect for a relaxing bedtime book, although the animals may make children laugh more than sleep since they are cute as can be.
The book is unusually long for a preschool board-book since it goes through the alphabet but the illustrations and animals should keep the child’s interest. This would be a wonderful book to get prior to going to Nevada or as a souvenir of Nevada.
I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.

I feel this is a great book for families who live in, or have ties to, the Reno/Tahoe area. I personally do not know enough about the area and found it therefore (maybe) less enjoyable. My toddler -who I test these type or books on- found the pictures hilarious, especially the Snake snowboarding! This book is as an alphabet practice book, however not my first choice. there are other (in my opinion) nicer/better options out there. Each page features a letter, place, animal, and activity using the featured letter. Which helps them them form sentences and see other words with the same letters.The illustrations are vivid and detailed. They did definitely engage my little gremlin and I feel other young readers might feel the same and therefore hold their attention a little longer.

This is a bedtime story that takes little kids for a spin around Lake Tahoe, visiting different places and animals around the region.
Illustrations are colorful and cute.
Living in this region, it is good to see familiar landmarks in the book and appreciate the beauty of this place all over again.
This is a book that will entertain as it informs little minds.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book! Below is my honest review.
Summary of plot:
The reader goes on an "alliterative alphabetical adventure before bedtime" to see how all the creature at Lake Tahoe are getting ready to sleep.
Pros about the book:
✔️ Very cute drawings
✔️ Creative alliterative
Cons about the book:
❌ Not sure how it's time for bed but the background of a lot of the scenes have a lot of light (indicating that it's not bed time? Maybe some of these animals are nocturnal?)
Would I recommend this book? Yes!

The absolute best part of this book is the illustrations. The reader says good night to Tahoe in alphabetical order. Each page represents a different place in Tahoe, a different activity, and a different animal. I wish this had some sort of cadence because it doesn’t but as I said earlier the best part of this book are the illustrations. They’re colorful, they’re fun, they make you want to laugh, and they do a much better job illustrating what the author is talking about then the authors actual words.
August 4, 2022
The illustrations were what. Got me interested and they didn’t disappoint. The different animals were all drawn cute and looked great. The book is structured like the abc with each letter being a different place and animal. I have never been to Tahoe so I didn’t now any of the places but for the people who have been I reckon this would be a cute and fast read.

Super fun childrens book! I think my favorite part is the illustrations, they are wonderfully done! Creative use of the alphabet to spark interest in a geographic location!
My ONLY issue was on X page they spell the word as Xtra instead of the correct way: eXtra which as a teacher bothers me a tinge.
However I can absolutely see this becoming a family favorite bedtime book!

Thank you to NetGalley, Beary Tahoe, & Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), for the e-ARC to read and review. This is a great bedtime story and ABC educational book all in one. Sometimes alphabet books really phone it in with half the letters but this story takes great care to share informative and alliterative lines for each letter and introduces some awesome animals of the area. Any animal loving little one would enjoy!

Thanks NetGally for an eArc-
A cute children's book saying "goodnight" to all Tahoe has to offer in alphabetical order! A fun book for those familiar with the area, and a great reminder of the animals, places, and activities- not the most accessible for those who have never been- but still a fun read. The art is fun, playful, and dynamic. I would pick this up as a fun gift shop book. Not necessarily a school or library "must buy" unless you're regional.

This is a brightly coloured, heavily illustrated ABC of Lake Tahoe. The book features lots of animals and camping/outdoor type activities and would be perfect to take along on a camping trip. The text is big and bold (at least on my e-copy) which made it easy for little ones to read.

I was unsure at first but I ended up loving it! Even though this book is focused on Lake Tahoe it was still a lot of fun and cool to see what’s native to the area. The pictures were fantastic! The only thing I wish was there be a final rhyme on the last page.
Thank you NetGalley and Beary Tahoe for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Very specific to the region, I believe this book will do well in bookstores and libraries surrounding Lake Tahoe but wasn't strong enough for nationwide appeal. The pictures are friendly and bright, but the text felt slightly clunky and didn't flow as well as many bedtime stories. Still, fans of the region will enjoy this quick story.
