The landmarks chosen for this book are a varied lot, but I found it interesting how they didn't use copyrighted names, like Disney, Universal, or Sea World. I also feel like they missed the mark on the culture of Floridians. The illustrations are terrible. They look like cheaply done computer generated graphics with no artistry to them. The only thing that keeps it on our shelf is the memories of Florida vacations of the past.

We love the whole collection of Good Night books. The This one is about Florida. A little boy & girl enjoying some experiences in Florida and say goodnight to Florida as they go to sleep.

Like the other books in this collection, this is a well made sturdy book with colorful illustrations that children love.

What she said more continuity besides the day going from morning to night. Still, trying to get one for the new state we live in. It's a fun way to remember the sites.

Pretty much all the major Florida attractions are represented in this well-written board book. I cannot wait until my son is old enough to remember when we travel to these destinations.

A bit odd that over 1/2 the book didn’t actually involve saying goodnight 🤷🏼‍♀️

Good enough!
