by Zondervan (Author), Irene Montano (Illustrator)
Grade Level: Preschool and up
In this sweet, humorous tale about an imaginative narwhal named Nolan, children and parents alike will giggle at, and likely recognize, all of Nolan’s excuses for avoiding bedtime. With soothing, rhyming text and whimsical, playful illustrations, this charming padded board book is sure to help little ones go from deep sea silliness to sweet, soothing dreams.
Nolan the Narwhal tries to go to sleep. He really does. But he’s thirsty ... and hungry ... and there might be a giant sea horse in the closet ... or under the bed ... and his eyes won’t stay shut ... and his horn is achy ... and all the blankets are too hot ... but no blankets are too cold ... and maybe one more song help ... and one more story ... that’s it! One more story and Nolan promises to go to bed.
My thoughts (LVH): NIGHTY NIGHT NARWHAL is an adorable children's bedtime book about a Narwhal who just won't settle down to sleep. He plays all the usual tricks of young children to try to get out of it. Add in a sweet little Narwhal song and this book is a winner! My youngest daughter gives it 5 stars and wants to save it for her someday niece or nephew. This would make an adorable bedtime story book for the special little someone in your life.

My thoughts (LVH): WHAT WOULD YOU WISH FOR? has a dedication that references King Solomon, but that is the only thing Christian about this book. It mentions a lot of fun things to wish for such as a snowy sleigh ride, all the ice cream and cookies you could ever want to eat and being a movie star, along with the peace, love, and joy.
My daughter mentioned the blue, yellow, and red children but it did generate a conversation about what she and I would wish for. It is not one we'd save for future babies in our family tree though.
