My soon-to-be 2 year old dislikes bedtime no matter how appealing we tried to make it, until we got this book. Now he waits for his daddy to "charge" the glow in the dark pages. As soon as that is done, he yells, "Lights, Daddy." Great graphics that show up well in the dark truly keep him enthralled until he falls asleep. I recommend it for any little "bear" fan.

If your child is a fan of the Bear In The Big Blue House, and particularly fond of the closing conversations that Bear shares with Luna the moon, this book is for you.

While conversing on the balchony, Bear asks Luna if she is lonely since she is awake while everyone else is sleeping. Luna reveals, however, that she loves nighttime and shares some her favorite activities, such as chatting with the owls and shining light on campers.

As an added bonus, this book has a glow-in-the-dark feature. If you hold the pages up to a light for several seconds, many of the pictures (such as the stars and the rings around the otter pond) glow in the dark! Fun to look at and to read, this title will become a fast favorite!

This book and a flashlight are how I am able to get my two year old to bed. He loves to see Luna glow and sings "goodbye, goodbye" everytime we read this book. (Other fans of the show will know what I'm talking about).

We got this book for our 2 1/2 yr. old son to take to bed with him because it glows in the dark. :) We "charge it up" under a table lamp while getting ready for bed time, read it to him & then give it to him to "read" while he is in bed. It's a great book & it's fun to look for the "hidden" things that only appear when they are "glowing in the dark". :) A great gift for any boy or girl.

My two-year-old really enjoys this book and other "Bear" books which have that glow-in-the-dark feature. After reading the book to him under regular lit conditions, we stick the pages under a lamp (or use a flashlight) to illuminate them, then shut the lights for him to enjoy it "glow in the dark" style. It's almost like getting two books in one. He's had it for well over a year and seems to enjoy it even more now. I'd recommend this.

We bought this, assuming it would be a gimicky book that would give our toddler son a lot of pleasure for a short time and then be discarded. The pleasure has turned out to be extended beyond what we thought possible. This little book has quite charming text but hasn't been a read aloud hit with our son. He has been enthralled with the glow in the dark pages, however. We used to just turn them and talk about what he could see. Now that he is almost 2, we no longer "charge" the book. We just turn off the lights and let him loose with the torch. He loves making the "magic pictures" come alive piece by piece with well aimed whisks of his magic torch. It is a lovely activity for winding down before sleep. While our toddler isn't afraid of the dark yet, I can imagine that this book might make the issue of "turning down the lights" a bit more fun and a bit less threatening. A surprising hit!

My 2 year old daughter just loves this book! We read lots of books at bedtime and this book helps break up the monotony because it glows in the dark. So we get to turn out the lights and read the pages with a flashlight then turn the flashlight off and see the glow. The glow in the dark parts of the book are actually quite detailed and light up really well.

This "Bear in the Big Blue House" book is all about Bear's night-time friend, Luna, and so it's only fitting that this book has a special feature that can only be seen at night (or, at least, in the dark, anyway.)

Normally, Luna is only seen at the end of each episode of the show and so it's nice to learn a bit more about her. In this book, Luna tells Bear all about her various night-time friends. From fireflies to campers, Luna has plenty of friends at night.

By "charging" the book with a lamp (and then a flashlight, once it's been charged before), images on each page will glow-in-the-dark. It's a nice bonus to go along with a nice story. Pretty much any "Bear" fan will enjoy this.

My five year old would certainly enjoy this book more, if Mommy and Daddy would stop sneaking it out of his room to read with lights on and then off! The'lights on' story is excellent going to bed fare especially for those who have developed an appreciation of the wonderful relationship between Bear and Luna. When you turn off the lights, the real wonder begins, as you read the book a second time through the glow in the dark images on each page which give a whole new appreciation of the original story. Read it, enjoy it, but do let your children have it occasionally.

The storyline is good, but if you are like most people, you need light to read. The whole gimmick about this book is that it glows in the dark, which is neat to see, but not a reason to buy a book. You cannot see the effect while reading it. There are other Bear books I would buy before this one...
