The book is interesting and my 21-month-old daughter loves looking at it. I am sure she doesn't quite get what New York city means yet, but it does show sights that are familiar to her. The text is minimal and pretty basic, so I wouldn't think this is a book for kids over 5. It starts the day with a visit to the Statue of Liberty, then to the UN with children playing in front of it, then police on horseback and a firetruck, then there is a page with NYC skyline and the Empire State Building up front, then Central Park, after that is the Bronx Zoo, the Public Library, a hot dog stand, musicals, and finally, everyone goes to bed in what looks like the Upper West Side with brownstone buildings.
We love every book we've read so far in the "Good Night World" series and always try to get them when we visit a new place. They also make great gifts for babies or young kids and it's fun to buy something a little more personal to add to whatever we've chosen to give from the registry. I like to get books from places that are special to the parents, and they always enjoy opening them. When our son was born I also bought him the books from his birth state and the states where his dad and I each grew up. They are some of our go-to books to read at night, and they are the perfect size to stick in the diaper bag and bring along with us. We have read several of these books now in the past 7 months, and "Good Night NYC" is another great one that I'm looking forward to giving to my friend!
The 'Good Night' series is pretty bland and predictable but that's OK. You get cute pictures, a narrative that sort of, kind of rhymes and a bit of a tour of the city in question.I'm a native New Yorker and picked this up for our twin girls (aged 3) it gets regular play in the rotation and the girls like it.It's no one's favorite bed time book but for the price it's certainly an acceptable addition to their library.
The seller was right on time & it was exactly what I ordered. I previously bought a "Goodnight Colorado" book that I love which is why I ordered this book for my granddaughter. I just don't think the author did quite as good a job with the New York City version. .
uninspired, trite, even for children, the bar is pretty low for these 2, clearly just a money grab, how about a good night Calgary, and just list off generic landmarks to say good morning and good evening too? thats what you get
My 18 month old, who lives in California, received this from grandmother. She LOVES it and demands that it be read over and over. We've had it less than a week and she can now point out the Statue of Liberty (even in a picture in another book), flags, a squirrel, ferry boat, Christmas tree, a fire truck, and identify Van Gogh's Starry Night as "painting". I like that the people in the book are multi ethnic and that it shows both male and female firefighters, police, and construction workers. I also like how the book not only covers a day but a year as well - it starts out with views of the Statue of Liberty with sailboats and the ferry, later a summer day at Coney Island and a warm picnic in Central Park, then the last few pages show people ice skating at Rockefeller Center (with Christmas tree behind them), New Years Eve at Times Square, and then snow falling as everyone says good night.One thing I noticed that seemed a little out of character for New York were the amount of brightly colored flowery clothes on the characters....they look a little "Californian...."Coincidentally I had just purchased Good Night America and do not think it flows as well - it is all over the place both geographically and seasonally.
Having lived in New York City, I was excited to get this book to read to my child. It's fairly accurate in the sights and icons of NYC. As expected, it highlights the main tourist attractions...which I was okay with. If you're someone looking for the local/insider book to NYC, this is not it.
I had bought other books of the serie (San Francisco, California...) so I bought that one too.First, I would have liked a little bit more references to the new york buildings, museum, the wall street...but no...Also, the drawings are computorized...many of the other books are hand drawn so I was a little disappointed by that too...Overall, It is still a nice book, I just think they went with the easy way on that one...
