Media Reviews
Cut pages are cleverly used to take the reader on a journey through the woods, while repetitive, sleepy actions and a well-paced text make this a pleasure to read aloud. * The Bookseller *
Chris Haughton's blocky, expressive style and terse text are teamed with cut pages in a richly coloured, hypnotic ode to sleep; this perfect starlit bedtime book will have parents yawning dangerously alongside their offspring. * The Guardian *
The visuals are the main appeal of this beautiful bedtime book, which explodes with a fantastic pink-and-purple starry colour palette, as well as having a simple and lulling bedtime story that will help little ones yawn along. * Booktrust *
A stunningly illustrated bedtime book for toddlers. [...] Goodnight Everyone is a lulling bedtime read that parents and children can share. * Women's Way *
If this beautifully illustrated book doesn't persuade reluctant toddlers to settle down for a night's sleep then nothing will. [...] Worth a try for age two and upwards. * Irish Examiner *
There's something genuinely magical about the new book from Chris Haughton: reading it before a little person's bedtime makes them very sleepy indeed. Boldly illustrated in a vibrant palette, this might just be every parent - and child's - dream book. * Huffington Post UK *
A perfect read together book sure to lull even the liveliest of cubs into a deep sleep. * Little London *
The minimalist text is lovely to read aloud and the gloriously bold block colours gently lead the listeners to a reassuring conclusion. The end-papers provide and interesting introduction to the planets and the night skies. * Carousel *
the stunningly illustrated bedtime book [...] with gorgeous, starry night time scenes and an infectious yawny 'goodnight' refrain, this book is perfect for parents and children to share. * Sunday Independent, Dublin *
A series of exquisitely coloured cut pages of increasing size introduce woodland families - with sublime, starry night time scenes and an infectious Good night refrain! * Primary Times *
a vibrantly coloured bedtime tale featuring a host of animals is a feat for the eyes * Irish Independent *
[...] revolves around a simple animal story about bedtime in the forest, elevated by indented pages in hot pink and indigo tones, night-sky inspired characters, Great Bear (Ursa Major) and Little Bear (Ursa Minor), and a rather lovely start chart on the inside front cover. * Evening Standard *
I find his palette of purples, oranges and browns incredibly soothing and this is a lovely book. * Irish Times, Children's Books of the Year recommended by Anna Carey *
With infectious yawns and stretches, cleverly woven into the text, this book can't fail to get your own little bear snoozing. * Gurgle *
