Names are too repititious |
Although the illustrations are great, overall, I think the book could have been much better written. The story is a sweet story, but the names of the characters (Willa and Willoughby) are used over and over. After a couple pages, it wears itself out while I'm reading it to my 2 year old.
That said, I have just decided to omit the names while I'm reading it, and my little one does like the story. It seems to get her in the right frame of mind for bedtime.

A great bedtime story |
| My three children, ages 3-5, adore this book. It is one of the few books that they will all sit still for. It is a lovely story about an older brother taking care of his younger sister, helping her go to sleep. The illustrations are wonderful. |

The resonance of the words are so soft and melodic |
| This is my second favorite "night night" book ever. (after the venerable GoodNight Moon) And it has many of the same aspects. A simple repetative story line that is comforting to young children and wording that is almost melodic to read. The wording is indeed repatitive, but any early childhood expert can tell you that for a young child that is what draws them into the story. Remember, it is not written for an adult. The fact that "Willa" and "Willoughby" are repeated on every page makes the story instantly familiar to a young child. The story is sweet and the illustrations are georgeous. My copy has been patched many times now and I smile whenever I see it. |
