Good Night (Talk-about-Books)
<p> At the end of the day, when it is time for bed, every child follows traditions and routines. <b>Good Night</b>, the sixteenth book in the <i>Talk-About-Books</i> series, explores the fun and chores that come with saying "good night" and going to sleep. </p><p> There is always one last game, and toys to put away. A warm bath with lots of bubbles is a nice way to end the day. If you have a bedtime snack, make sure to carefully brush your teeth afterwards. Pajamas are cozy. Story time is a wonderful chance to cuddle up and share a book. And don't forget a good-night kiss before you shut your eyes! </p><p> Each photograph is realistic and comforting. Children from various familial, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds experience "bedtime" and are seen in different stages of preparing for bed. </p><p> The <i>Talk-About-Books</i> series was designed to enhance a baby's or toddler's first collection of books. Each title in the series explores a specific aspect of the young child's world using real-life photographs that depict a variety of children in different natural settings. This innovative series grew out of a desire to provide children -- all children -- with the opportunity to see themselves within the books they are reading and to better identify with the children and families they are looking at. </p><p> The simple text and engaging photographs invite and encourage discussion between adult and child as they have fun exploring the images together. </p>
