Ada Aguilar seems to be a very creative children's book author. Sampling the book I was impressed with the pictures and the storyline. This seems to make a good bedtime story to help kids to sleep. You have written the review so well. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Ryan is enthusiastic and unable to sleep. Yes, of course! It is such a time-waster. Enter a mystical firefly who leads Ryan and you, along with your kid, to an enchanting children's dreamland. The magic words spoken there made him eager to go to bed early the following night. Your review made me rush to the book. Regarding the photograph, I concur with your assessment. Although it is full of vivid visuals that youngsters may identify with, I would like to point out that some of those could have been done better. Nice review! Congrats on BOTD!

Good concise review. I have a hyperactive kid as well. This should be a good book for him. Perhaps I will consider reading it in another format since you complained about this one.

For kids who enjoy magic and struggle with going to sleep, this is a good book to read. 'Ryan Daniels: Good Night, Firefly' is a book that parents could read to their children at night during bedtime. It also features lovely drawings.

Seems to be an interesting book for children. Animations are quite attractive and would amuse the kids. A well written review.

This is a lovely book with beautiful illustrations. But I agree with the reviewer in that the book does not work well electronically. If I had little ones in my life right now, I'd probably pick up a nice paperbound version to share with them.

In my opinion, any book that encourages children to go to bed at night is a blessing. Thank you for your review.

Nice review. Apt and crisp.
Bed time stories improves our imagination power. That too with the cartoon illustration and colorful pics, it is really a treat to Children who loves bedtime stories.
Message over the short stories will be fixed deep into the minds of children reading these kinda books.
I appreciate the efforts of author.
Thanks a lot for this review

Children who make excuses when it's time for bed will find this book to be quite relatable, and they will undoubtedly nod off while reading it. Children could fantasize that a firefly will lead them at night to a fantastic location where kids slumber.

This review is one of those which are to the point and very honest, just as any good review should be. I am totally intrigued to read what the book actually holds in store for me. Being an older sister, to some very young and notorious children, I think this book could do all of us wonders in putting my little goblins to bed at night. A story about a child who does not sleep at night, and then a firefly comes in to save the day is like one of those fantasies which attracts children to it, make them want to read it. This book carries an aura of the mystical world but in a setting of the real world is what I gathered from the review above. The part about Ryan taking candy from a man and it giving out a wrong message sure has concerned me, but it also allows us to point some things out to younger children, things they should not do. Overall, I am absolutely delighted and eagerly waiting to read this book. This review is by DAKSHTA BHAMBI

This review of the book Good Night, Firefly is exactly what I would report for this book. On the Kindle phone app there was not a white line down the middle of the page, it did split the pages so it was harder to connect the graphics with the story. Overall, this review was honest and contained relevant and accurate information for the book.
