Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Goodnight Emily and the Moon, It's Almost Bedtime
Melissa Ryan · 2016
52/100
👎 Skip It
A calm bedtime experience built around hearing Emily's name — the personalization is the product. Like every volume in this series, the text is swapped from a template and the story is minimal. It is a gift item first and a picture book second, and that hierarchy shows.
