Goodnight Avi and the Moon, It's Almost Bedtime

Melissa Ryan · 2016
52/100
👎 Skip It

A sweet idea — a bedtime book where a little one hears their own name — but the execution is template work repeated across hundreds of variants, which means there is nothing here that couldn't be in any other book in the series. The story has no real narrative, just a pleasant mood, and the production values reflect the self-published format. A personalized gift that's more about the novelty than the book itself.
