Good Night, Earth
by Linda Bondestam
Age Range: Under_5
On a faraway planet, an alien family has an unusual bedtime routine – spying through a telescope on the baffling bedtime antics of other animal families on earth. They encounter a little chimp who needs his mother to play at least 73 songs on the ukulele to fall asleep; a meerkat family enjoying some stretches together as the sun goes down and the sleep expert, a baby sloth snoozing soundly in the trees.
Good Night! Earth is a lovely, whimsical tale from Finnish author and illustrator Linda Bondestam, translated from Swedish by Galit Hasan-Rokem. The poetic text is full of offbeat humour – a family of sleepy owls are seen struggling to get through a sunrise supper of croissants and hot chocolate before collapsing into welcome sleep.
