The beginning and end of each day are celebrated in this engaging, flip-around picture book. The first half of the book is an exuberant invitation to greet the new day; turn the book over to share the day’s end in gentle, soothing verse.

The perfect book for bedtime!
My daughter just turned two and this is her favorite night-night book (as she calls it). Toddlers thrive on routine and this is great book to incorporate into your evening. We read other books first and this is the last one we use to wind down for the night. She likes to say goodnight to all of the animals and objects (especially the ladder)! The wakeup portion of the book is great also. I highly recommend this one!

Good book for setting morning and night routine
My son is 19 months old and I have been reading him this book ever since he was 3 months old. When he awakes; first thing in the morning we read "Wake Up". I usually exaggerate the part in the book where "trees are singing, birds are winging, THINGS ARE THINGING!!" He looks forward to that part and bursts out laughing each time. At night, before going to bed, we read "Good Night". I usually read it in quiet tones and it sets the mood for settling down for the evening. Both stories are short and cater to the short attention span of little ones. I highly recommend it (them?)
