Here’s a clever board book, perfectly simple, perfectly constructed. Open the page to see baby in bed, but wide awake. Turn the pages, each one slightly bigger than the previous, and say good night to little feet, calves, knees and so on until with the final page turn, baby’s face is all that’s left above the blanket, eyes now ready to close.
It’s an ingenious little book which will bring fun and calm to bedtimes, but also an effective exercise in mindfulness, for both parent and young child.
Baby is ready to sleep so it’s time to say good night—all the way from toes to nose!
With each new blanket-page longer than the previous one, the cozy check blanket gradually covers the baby’s whole body. One by one, baby and parents together say good night to little feet, little ankles, little knees... And what about you, little eyes—are you ready to close?
Then the light clicks off and everyone’s fast asleep. Good night, baby!
Good Night, Belly Button is an affectionate and original bedtime ritual to lull any baby to sleep.
A simple, perfectly executed, interactive idea where the book pages are the blanket. This book introduces words for parts of the baby’s body with repetition and comfort. The perfefct gift/toy for new babies.
