A smaller board book version of the “I Spy” series, these are a wonderful way to introduce the delight of books to small children. My daughter, 18 months old, loves them. The beauty is that they will last at least a couple of years for the three year and four year old will enjoy them too. The photos are full of things to little ones to look at which can be named, things to find together.

This lovely book to share, invites us to cuddled up together, before bedtime, to help settled down all those wiggles.

I think the reason this book has grown in popularity over the years is it invites a parent and child to find things in the child’s room to which they can say goodnight. A lovely way for a child who is beginning to learn to speak to interact with a book. When they get a little older and becomes goodnight ceiling, goodnight floor you know they are trying to stretch out that bedtime
