PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
All over the world, people say good night in different ways, and this brief book explores a few while considering commonalities between the practices. "How do you say good night' in Vietnam or Cameroon? The words may be different, but we all sleep under the same bright moon," Jin writes. Ng-Benitez tenderly depicts families both out-and-about and settling into bed from 10 countries, including Mexico and South Korea. Two children observe the sunset from a tree: "We say Usiku mwema' when the sun goes down in Kenya." And in Austria, a child hugs her grandparents, saying "Gute Nacht." The inclusion of phonetic pronunciations will enable readers to practice saying the phrases aloud. A sweet bedtime board book and early language primer. Ages 2 4.
