The lyrical and melodic writing in this book is very appealing to small children - not to mention the beautiful illustrations. It's an ideal book for helping to soothe 'revved' engines at bedtime!

This is a delightful book for little children that will help them make the transition from their busy play time to settling for the night in a tranquil and soothing manner. The words and pictures work well in portraying the winding down of all sorts of engines, both mechanical and internal! Reading this to their children will also help Mom and Dad leave the work-a-day world behind.

My son is 23 months old and just loves this book! Since he learned how to walk, he stopped sitting on my lap to read his bedtime stories and would motor around the room as I read his book. However, we started reading this book a month or so ago and he now wants to be on my lap again:) He enjoys the story (rhyming words with a nice rhythm that catch his attention) and just loves the pictures! He especially likes the two pages with fire trucks on them. My son is on the go the entire day and has a short attention span, but this book makes him slow down and sit with me! Great book! I'm going to buy WAKE UP ENGINES next!

What a delightful new book! This is a beautifully written book with a gentle lyrical quality that makes it a pleasure for the reader and the listener alike. As a mother of two toddlers, reading Good Night Engines is a smooth transition to bedtime. I save it for last and always hear "Again, Mommy" which is fine with me. The illustrations are lovely also. I just wish the publisher would release this in a board book which would hold up better to all the wear and tear our copy is likely to receive.

Wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated! The perfect bedtime book to read when putting down your "little engines" for the night. A great gift for parents who need sleep!

Good reads for toddlers. Short rhymes per page, with transportation every. We had originally gotten them at the library, but found we needed our own copies at home. Don't forget Wake Up Engines by the same author.

I picked this book up from the library after my son (20 months) and I discovered "Wake Up Engines". Neither one of us cared for this one at all. It was missing the fun truck sounds that made him love the "Wake Up Engines" so much. The pictures are still beautiful but we didn't enjoy the story. The most enjoyment I got out of it was the look of horror on my son's face when he mistakenly brought me this one instead of the "Wake Up" book. Back to the library it went with no regrets.

An refreshingly different good-night type book about trucks and engines winding down at night time.
