I've been review blogging for about 5 years now...and whenever it comes to a children's book that I am reviewing...I ALWAYS make it a joint review...myself and whichever of my two youngest children also read the book.To me, sure it's important that I like the book, but IT'S SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAT MY CHILD LIKES THE BOOKAND THAT HE TAKES SOMETHING AWAY FROM IT, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A GOOD FEELING IN HIS HEART....andthis is the case with RyAnn Hall's NIGHT, NIGHT, MY CHILD...Here is Nathan and I's review:~~~~This book is a really cute and simple book for really young childrenand beginning readers.My son, Nate and I read it before he went to bed Wednesday night,and I'm proud to say...IT WAS A HIT!!Meaning, we will be reading it again.Nate really liked the part that it included that you give your puppy kissesbefore you go to bed...because (s)he NEVER goes to bedwithout kissing his Nucky.Mommy liked the part where (s)he saves some of his hugs and kissesfor Mommy. Because we all know that Mommy's CAN NEVERget enough hugs and kisses from out little ones.Nate really thought it was great that the booktalked about Mommy rubbing his/her back until he fell asleep,because this is most definitely one of our nightly rituals.Even though this Mommy does occasionally give my little Nate(ok, not so little anymore, now that he's NINE...but he will forever be my baby)kisses on the cheek...Mommy's ALL TIME FAVORITE place to kiss a childis right between their eyes, that little spot that the skin bunches upon....and the smaller the child is, the more bunched upskin there is for Mommy to kiss :))All in all, Nate and I thought this was a really cute night time bookto read before bed, and since the rituals theydid in the book before bed are so similar to the ones we do hereat home, WE LIKED IT EVEN MORE!!~~~~I absolutely recommend this wonderful bedtime story to ALL PARENTS of young onesand also to BEGINNING READERS.Most definitely A FIVE STAR REVIEW!!~Serenity & Nathan
