Summary:
This is a classic picture book dedicated to saying goodnight to all the things in a little bunny’s room. It first introduces all the different things in the room, and then says goodnight to all of them. It is a simple bedtime story.

Strengths:
The book plays upon the emotions of a young child and all the things they think of before they go to sleep. It has great contrast with the bright pages of the room, and then the black and white pages of single pictures. The storyline is very easy for a child to relate to. It has a great series of rhyming words and good repetition to help the children recognize what is happening.

Concerns:
Even though the book seems to utilize a specific pattern, it sometimes strays and could be slightly confusing for children. Other than that, I do not find anything bad about the book.

Classroom use/Other comments:
This would be a great book to use before naptime in pre-k or kindergarten. It would also be a good book to use for fun for the students and to give them a chance to talk about what they do before they go to bed- or maybe incorporate it into their own writing assignment or project.
