Review of Ryan Daniels: Good Night, Firefly

[Francis Omotayo Aderogbin]

This review does a great job capturing the essence of the book's magical and relatable storyline. I'm intrigued to know what happens when Ryan is shrunk by the firefly!

Unfortunately, I have no interest and no use for reading this book. Not only am I too old for it personally, my children are way too mature for it as well. In any case, I admire your gifting it for free and congratulate with BOTD!

I can't say I necessarily agree the fantastical character giving protagonist Daniel candy during his magical adventure would need be construed as a bad example; I personally feel children are generally more sophisticated than we give them credit for and as with any story it would be good to invite discussion around that topic if, as a caregiver or parent, you were concerned about it. Otherwise, I think this is a very helpful review and I think this picture book could be helpful for children and the parents of children who don't want to go to sleep. I did not personally enjoy the illustrations but I cannot deny they will appeal to some kids!

[Chris Agbara]

Sounds like a great bedtime companion for kids.

[Omobolanle Savage]

The book seems like a perfect choice for kids struggling with bedtime. The vibrant illustrations and the use of rhyme will surely keep them engaged and entertained.

[Victoria Chidimma]

Thanks for this wonderful review. Sounds like an interesting read for kids to enable them discover the value of sleep through magic fantasy.

[Chad Anthony]

I appreciate the reviewer's honesty about the eBook's presentation flaws and the concern about the candy scene. These details are essential for potential readers to consider.

A cute story to help children at bedtime. I appreciate the reviewer's frankness in the reviewing alerting parents to potentially troublesome aspects to discuss with their children while reading.

[rusyalana]

The book sounds exciting filled with magic that will definitely be liked by children. And it's an interesting way to explain the neccessity of sleep and how it will affect the health otherwise. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

[Penny Ann Criswell Johnson]

A book to help children fall asleep is an amazing idea. This sounds like an amazing book. Thank you for the review.

[Catherine_Crumpler]

I certainly question the use of an unknown adult male figure that gives the child candy. I agree with the original review that maybe a fantastical dream character should, or since he's in a dreamland, the lollipops could be flowers or the like.

I also think the use of parentheses may be too advanced for the age demographic this is aimed toward. It's fine to elongate the sentences.

There are also a few general grammatical issues that make the reading a little stiff.

Otherwise, this is a cute story that could help kids that are going through resisting sleep.

[Amy Luman]

Sometimes it’s hard for us all to get to sleep and we try to put it off. Congratulations on BOTD!

[Jorge Leon Salazar]

This book seems like an excellent tool to encourage children to go to bed to sleep at night, without excuses. The inclusion of magic in the story is a relevant added value.

[AntonelaMaria]

I don't read children's books but this one sounds intresting because insomnia is something I can relate to. Also, children are often reluctant to go to sleep. Good review.

[sheriffmukhtar]

The book will make a good bedtime story source for kids as children are fond of stories about fairytales.
It will be a helpful tool for parents grappling with children with bed-resisting attitudes. that's not all, it is a useful tool for kids who are learning to read; the magical aspect is an impetus to a child's reading interest.
Ryan Daniels has done a good job.
