Goodnight Santa is a fabulously festive bedtime story from Michelle Robinson and Nick East
It's Christmas Eve, and time to go to sleep. But while children all over the world snuggle up and close their eyes Santa is getting everything ready for his busiest night of the year.
With a lyrical rhyme and adorable illustrations, this festive book is the perfect bedtime story.
Michelle Robinson has always wanted to be an author like her hero Roald Dahl, but all they had in common was the same birthday and a love of chocolate. Now at last, Michelle is a real author too. She lives in Frome, Somerset with her husband, son and daughter. Visit her at www.michellerobinson.co.uk.
Nick East has been working as a museum designer for the past 16 years but has always been a storyteller, whether as a child, filling sketchbooks with quirky characters, or as a designer displaying a collection of ancient artifacts. Nick lives near York with his wife and two children and, when he isn't drawing, he is out riding bikes and spending time with his family.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A pair of pink-skinned, rosy-cheeked siblings are whisked on a Christmas Eve trip to Santa's workshop in this addition to Robinson and East's Goodnight series. It's a fairly exciting premise given the book's bedtime aims, but Robinson's well-crafted rhymes, which include several Margaret Wise Brown esque "goodnight" cues, help create a soothing atmosphere: "Goodnight workshop. Goodnight toys./ Where's that list of girls and boys?/ Come on reindeer, time to go./ Here comes Santa! Ho ho ho!" East's illustrations, mostly full-bleed scenes with a handful of panel sequences, aren't especially distinctive, but they get the job done, establishing a solid sense of holiday magic as sledders race down hills, elves take care of finishing touches in a workshop brimming with toys, and the siblings snuggle into bed after a busy night of helping Santa. Ages 1 4.
