Goodnight Samara and the Moon, It's Almost Bedtime

Melissa Ryan Β· 2015
52/100
πŸ‘Ž Skip It

Another name-variant entry in Melissa Ryan's self-published personalized bedtime series. The personalization creates a genuine moment of delight for a child hearing her name, but the story content is generic across the catalog and there is no independent review to vouch for the execution. Fine as a low-stakes gift; not a book to seek out for its own sake.
