nicktomjoe's review against another edition
5.0
Some night time books feel like the lulling end is an afterthought; Goodnight Goodnight is a lullaby in book form, an evening hymn to a busy urban street putting itself to bed. The repeated “goodnight” lends itself to different tones and characters, while the muted colours and the rhythm of the prose keeps the narrative firmly headed towards bed. I love it - and my children have too: a perfect bedtime story.

A simply told and atmospheric story that sees the buzz of a little town begin to fade away, as night draws in and people bid each other goodnight. This was such an endearing tale, I loved the gentle illustrations, the hushed palette of white, black and yellow portraying darkness so softly and warmly, as it settles peacefully in wait for each character to return home.
To me, it was a refreshing change for the night to be normalized, rather than being portrayed as something feared or necessary to overcome, which it needn't always be. A lovely book that would sooth any anxious little ones before bed.
