Description
Stomp and swim and fly and creep!
Yawn . . . these dinos need their sleep.
Now it’s time for nighty night.
T-Rex pulls his blankie tight.
Just like your little dinosaur, these dinos love to play. But unlike your little dinosaur, they also love to sleep! Velociraptor snuggles under a cozy fern, Brontosaurus hugs his bear, and pretty soon, they all fall asleep until morning. But shh, don’t wake them! They need sleep to stay healthy, big, and strong, and so does your little dinosaur.
A sweet rhyming picture book perfect for your bedtime routine, Nighty Night, Dinos combines 11 of your child’s favorite dinosaurs (something they love) and the importance of sleep (something they, well, tolerate). But these gentle illustrations of dinosaurs tucked into bed will make bedtime seem exciting, and pretty soon you’ll have a snoozing little dino, too.

I love this sweet little bedtime book. Busy, active dinosaurs all snuggle up in their favorite places with their favorite pillows and blankets to get some much needed sleep. The rhyming flows nicely, the illustrations are adorable and I can't wait to read it to my grandchildren.
Nighty Night, Dino is an adorable bedtime book for the little dinos in your life. It has a soft, rhythmic melody to lull the littles ones to rest, just like the different dinosaurs in the book. The beautiful artwork has soft brush strokes that fit all too well with the mood. It is the sort of sweet and simple book that helps calm the mind so the littles can fall asleep. It'd be perfect for bedtime at home or nap time at school and perhaps inspire a few happy dinosaur dreams too
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nighty Night, Dinos is a sweet and soothing bedtime picture book that’s perfect for winding down at the end of the day. The gentle rhyming text makes it easy to read aloud, while the soft, cozy illustrations of dinosaurs getting ready for sleep create a calm, comforting mood.
This story does a lovely job of connecting something kids love—dinosaurs—with the importance of rest, making bedtime feel fun instead of stressful. A great choice for young readers and caregivers looking to build a peaceful bedtime routine.
I love this book!! (As much as my 1.5 and 4 year olds, if not more). The rhyming flows wonderfully, which is impressive considering the complicated dinosaur names included. The illustrations are so detailed. The dinosaurs, of which there are many, have adorable accessories and sweet bat friends. The color pallette is just perfect. This book would make for a great gift! My four year old said, "that was a sweet book!!"

Nighty Night Dinos is a lovely bedtime book. With a sing-song rhyme scheme and stunningly beautiful watercolor illustrations, this book provides the ultimate cozy vibes for young readers.
Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book!
Such a fun and cozy bedtime story while learning all the names of the dinosaurs! Perfect way to get your little one to wind down for bedtime.
Wow. A delightful bed time story about bed time featuring dinosaurs and lots of it here! The rhyming are charming and spot on. The artwork compliments the text. Simple, cozy and gets you ready for that night rest. Don't sleep (no pun intended) on this one.

What fun illustrations! I loved all the details, the little dino with the green glasses was so cute. I also loved the rhyming with the dino names, incredibly clever. This would make for a good story time book or to promote to parents for bedtime. Will definitely be adding to my story time rotation list. I also liked it gives readers the opportunity to splash and jump, and make sounds along with the dinosaurs as they get ready for bed.
I read this to my son before his nap and he LOVED it. It was great to show the importance of sleep and having a good sleeping routine. It also was adorable how it included dinosaurs, which he loves, and the illustrations were beautiful.

Nighty Night, Dinos names different dinosaurs and sends them off to sleep — the perfect bedtime book for young kids. The rhymes are sweet, kids can learn about different dinosaurs, and the illustrations are absolutely adorable. Parents, teachers, and booksellers should all check this one out! I loved it!

I want to thank NetGalley and Familius publishing for the ARC of Nighty Night, Dinos by Deborah Holt Williams in exchange for my honest review.
Nighty Night, Dinos by Deborah Holt Williams is the perfect book for this year's Summer Reading Program. The illustrations were beautiful. I love the water painting look of the images. Dinosaurs are a sure favorite among the tiniest readers, and they will love to listen to this book as they go to sleep. This book would make a great read during a storytime. Each page has one to two sentences with a sing song rhyming pattern that flows seamlessly throughout the book. I hope to get this book to read during the summer to my littlest patrons.

It’s paired with soothing, whimsical illustrations that inspire you to snuggle up and get cozy alongside the adorable dinos. I have no doubt it will become a treasured book at bedtime for dinosaur lovers everywhere.
