Summary: Books & Grandchildren
Comment: I love reading. I have passed that love on to my children, my grandchildren,and am now passing it to the children I care for in my Home Childcare. I am a firm believer that children are never too young to learn. The day the children come home from the hospital I begin teaching them to spell their name, using magnetic letters on the refrigerator. My oldest grandson was the first to hear "Nighty Night,Little One". At 1 1/2, it was his favorite book. Sometimes I would read it 5 or 6 times in a row. He knew the entire book. I would read the first part "Slow down little one, nighttime is here. The red sun is setting" and
he would finish "as bedtime draws near. Me: "But out in the forest your nocturnal friends, are just waking up: Isaiah, "as your busy day ends". It would go on until the end of the book. He loved the book and had it so often that I wasn't aware of the book's disappearance for quite a while. I have been trying to find a copy for about three years now. It is such a beautiful story, written in a way that keeps little ones interested and involved. It is books like these that help give children the appreciation for books and reading that carry them through life. The illustrations are wonderful. At the time that I purchased this book, I also purchased "The Little Quiet Book" also by Katherine Ross. I was able to find a copy of it and now the children are not allowed to touch it or read it unless we do it together. I want to have a copy of both books around always. I want ALL my grandchildren and Daycare babies to experience the magic and wonder of them.

Summary: Nighty-Night, Little One
Comment: I purchased this book for my daughter when she was six years old. She is now 16, and the book is still her favorite. We both have fond memories of reading it at bedtime. But for a book to become a lasting favorite, especially for a child, it must have colorful and interesting pictures and a story that never becomes boring or out of date. "Nighty-Night, Little One", by Katerine Ross, illustrated by Lisa McCue, is such a book. The story gives a sensitive portrayal of various baby animals in their natural daily and nightly routines. Written simply yet very informative, the book gives a child an educational look at the similarities between their world and that of baby animals. The sentences are short and the words are easy for a child to learn and eventually read on their own. The illustrations are beautifully done in soft hues which serves to hightlight the sweetness of baby animals. Katherine Ross, together with Lisa McCue have created a timeless story that has the ability to hold a childs interest no matter how many times it is read. One last point, "Nighty-Night, Little One" is written in the "CHUNKY BOOK" format so it is small and the pages are thick making it easier for little hands to handle. This book doubles as the perfect bedtime story to help a child relax and get ready for sleep and as a wholesome story that can help bring the enjoyment of reading to child.
