Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Goodnight, I Wish You Goodnight, Translated Icelandic
Karen Jean Matsko Hood · 2014
52/100
👎 Skip It
If you are specifically looking for a bilingual English-Icelandic bedtime book for a young child, this is probably the only game in town — and that niche value is real. But there is no meaningful literary or artistic distinction here, the anime illustration style is hit-or-miss, and it has no critical footprint at all. Useful as a language-learning gift tool; not a book you would choose for its own sake.
