Night Night, Jungle by Amy Parker

“Night Night, Jungle” by Amy Parker and illustrated by Virginia Allyn is a medium-sized, puffy-covered board book for ages infant to toddler.

The story is about jungle animals getting ready for and going to bed – the jaguars get one more splash in the pond before bed, the tiny toucan needs to brush his teeth, the curly chameleons get one more story, the sloth gets snuggles with mommy, and the little lemurs thank God for the food they eat before bed. At the end of the story the narrator

reminds the reader that God created all of the jungle creatures. I like that the activities each creature engages in before bed are activities our kids would do/want to do too.

All of the pages are completely illustrated and are full of vibrant colors. The pictures are engaging – there is lots for parents to point out to their children. On each page a few words are in a different color: this gives opportunities for parents to have their kids read those words or point them out or show what in the picture coordinates with the words. I like that the jungle creatures chosen aren’t typical, so kids can learn about animals they may not have heard of before.

I recommend this book to others.
