Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Goodnight Lauren and the Moon, It's Almost Bedtime
Melissa Ryan · 2016
46/100
👎 Skip It
The personalisation hook is the entire point of this series, and if Lauren is the child's name it will delight her in the moment — that is not nothing. But as a book this is a thin concept vehicle at self-published production quality with no story, no distinctive art, and no reason to exist beyond the name on the cover. A trade-published personalised book or a genuinely strong bedtime classic would serve the child better.
