Night night, Ocean! Kids get to say, "Night, night" to all the different ocean creatures in this adorable bedtime story. I loved the pictures and the rhyming.

Thank you Netgalley for the advanced ebook!

A cute rhyming book with very cute pictures. The addition of God will likely take away the appeal of this story for some readers but may add appeal for others.

My daughter and I really enjoyed this lovely book. The illustrations were very colorful and eye catching. I personally enjoyed the reference to God at the end. He is the creator of all things! So I liked that extra touch. And the shark page made us giggle! Very cute story!

This story is absolutely adorable! I just read it with my son, and he loved the colorful and vibrant illustrations. I loved that there were some rhymes on each page and the details in the illustrations were amazing. This is also a wonderful story that goes along with bedtime routines that you may have! It even gives a chance to discuss God in the story. That is probably my favorite part! That this author did not shy away from that topic. A wonderful bedtime story and I cannot wait to purchase it to have on our shelf. Thank you for the opportunity to read this and share it with my son.

This board book has cute, colorful illustrations and simple, rhyming text. It introduces babies and toddlers to familiar ocean animals, creates a soothing transition towards bedtime, and has some basic references to God and prayer that will appeal to Christian families. There is nothing especially unique and exceptional about this, but it's cute and sweet.

Too cute!

A rhyming, bedtime story about God's underwater creations. Kids will love the beautiful illustrations.

A must for those children who will not go to bed without a story.

Absolutely love the repetition and rhyme in this book. Reminds me highly of another series we read in our home, but the fact the ocean is what they are referring to makes it a bit different than the dry land version.

The illustrations are bright and fun, encouraging readers to do picture walks as they read. This book is an educators dream, honestly!

One quip is the religious undertones. My family and I are not religious in the slightest, so this did not appeal to use as consumers! Overall, it’s a great book, with bright colors and quick service.

Thank you for your support!

A wonderfully lyrical bedtime story! In a similar vein as “Goodnight Moon,” “Night Night, Ocean” is a short but extremely sweet children’s book that is perfect for any bedtime ritual. Introducing various ocean creatures, the author, Amy Parker takes children on an ocean adventure with a little manatee. As the manatee swims along the ocean it comes across sea horses, fish, sharks, turtles, and many others getting ready for bedtime. As the manatee swims by, it says good night to each creature it passes. The end of the book reminds us that God is the One who made everything and everybody! “Night Night, Ocean” is beautifully illustrated with vibrant colors and cute animals that will appeal to the littlest of children. I thank NetGalley and Thomas Nelson: Children’s for the ARC of this book. I am not required to give a positive review. All opinions within this review are my own.

Night Night, Ocean is the perfect bedtime book for toddlers and preschoolers. The illustrations are colorful and adorable. We follow along as manatees say good night to all their ocean creature friends. I love the sweet little rhymes. This book would make the perfect gift for young children who may struggle with settling down for bedtime.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson: CHILDREN'S for allowing me to be an early reader. All opinions are my own.
