“Goodnight Our World” Books – Review & Giveaway

I am thrilled to share with you today a company whose board books stand above the rest: The Good Night Our World book collection. These books are written as wonderful, fact-filled, interactive stories that help your child say “goodnight” to various parts of the world in which we live.

Each book starts out with brightly lit, busy morning scenes of various cities, landmarks, or other notable places. The storyline continues into the afternoon, and the book wraps up with serene, peaceful images of that area at nighttime. It’s a wonderful, quiet way to end the day, as well as to remind our children that people and animals all over the world wake up, live and play, then go to bed to rest at night, just like they do.

The kind folks at Good Night Our World Books sent us a great assortment of titles to review and enjoy. The kids really took to Goodnight Zoo, since the zoo is one of their favorite places to visit (within driving distance)! Of course, Good Night Beach is a favorite, as well….seeing as the kids haven’t stopped talking about our beach trip last summer and are anxiously awaiting our next trek there.

I have to say I have a warm spot in my heart for Good Night Charleston. It commemorates one of our family’s favorite places of all, reminding the kids of the sights they saw there such as the Morris Lighthouse, Rainbow Row, the City Market, and the SC Aquarium.

I love that the children can learn about lesser known areas and sights as I read these books to them, as well as the fact that just looking at the detailed, drawn illustrations will keep them entertained for a long while. They frequently come searching for me, asking me what they’re seeing on each page. Books that start learning-based discussions always have my vote!

The Goodnight Our World series includes a whopping 33 titles at the moment, with a new title just debuting in its ranks, Good Night Our World. These books range from $7.95 to $9.95 and can be bought from any major book retailer, online or off (Amazon included).

Win it! I have FOUR copies of Good Night Our World for four of you guys. What do you need to do for a chance to win? Just browse Good Night Our World’s wide myriad of titles, then come back here and, in one comment, tell me another title you believe your children would really enjoy. I’ll close the contest at 11pm EST next Tuesday, February 10th, 2009. US entries only; sorry. Good luck!

We would like Goodnight Texas.

How cute! I think Josiah would like “Goodnight Florida” since we just came back from a vacation there. He would love “Goodnight Zoo” too, though, being a huge animal lover!

Lucas would love “Goodnight Lake” since he regularly asks to go fishing and plays in his tent everyday!

Good Tennessee would be a greatbook for my family!!

Goodnight California, since we’re in California!

My kids would really like Good Night America and Good Night Lake. They all look cute!

There are so many to chose from. To bad there wasn’t one for MI. It would make deciding so much easier. I think we’d pick either the Goodnight Atlanta, as my parents live right outside that area and Elijah has visited the different exhibits recently or the Goodnight Zoo as he’s a big fan of that too. I on the other hand love the Goodnight Tennessee since that’s where I grew up.

Goodnight San Francisco

My niece would love goodnight lake because she lives in a big city and never gets to the lake unless she is on vacation. She loves the lake. Thanks!

Both of my sons are now living in Charleston. I’d love to have that one!!!
I teach kindergarten and my students know I visit there often. It would be great to read to them!!!

Goodnight DC.

GOOD NIGHT TEXAS would be my pick. What a great idea for young children. Learning through reading!

Hello! These books are marvelous. Thanks for introducing me to them! My sons would enjoy the “Good Night, Zoo” book. Please enter me in your delightful book giveaway drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

I love the Goodnight Zoo and Goodnight Atlanta books!

I liked Good Night Zoo

Good Night California (cuz we’re in Cali), or Good Night America are my 2 favorites. Thanks for the giveaway!

Good Night America I think is my choice – but Good Night Zoo sounds good too. Hard to choose!

GOOD NIGHT WASHINGTON, DC would be my favorite. I would’ve love Good Night KY but Washington is great because my little one is curious about where the Presidents live. Thanks so much.

Of course, Good Night Texas

i like Goodnight Zoo and Goodnight Chicago!

Well, they don’t have Goodnight Indiana, so Goodnight World or Lake would be good )

Good Night California

My son is little and still learning all the animals, so Good Night Zoo would be great for him.

would love to have good night California for my kids — great idea!

We already have Good Night Philadelphia and my son loves it because he has been to some of the places mentioned in the book. So I think another we would really like to read would be Good Night New Jersey…since that’s where we are from! I love these books!!! Thanks for the chance to win :O)

Wow! These are so cool!!! I travel a lot through my work and I am fortunate to be able to take my daughter many of the times! I would love to get these for the places we have been. I would love to get her Goodnight Florida (since we live here!) and Goodnight San Francisco since we travel there the most and might move there soon! Thanks so much for the chance!

Good Night America would be great for our family! Hopefully Chicago will make the list soon as it is a major city we take weekend trips to. Thanks! m_huston(at)hotmail(dot)com

I think Goodnight America would be a great one – we got Goodnight Beach on vacation this year – so cute!
