Share This Review

Ada Aguilar has written a children's book titled Ryan Daniels: Good Night, Firefly. This is the sequel to the first book in the series. It's about a young boy named Ryan who had trouble sleeping because there were always better things he could be doing. Then, when he tried to go to sleep, something magical happened. A firefly flew into his room and shrunk him to a tiny size. If you want to know what happens next, you should buy this book.

If your kid has trouble sleeping at night, they might enjoy reading this book before bed. The bright colors and fun characters in the illustrations will appeal to young readers. It even has magic, a concept beloved by young readers. The occasional use of rhyme is another way the author keeps the reader's attention.

I did not prefer the eBook's page presentation. There was a white line down the middle of the screen, and the pages were turned sideways. I was also concerned that a man was used to hand candy to Ryan in this book. If only a fantastical being or fictional person like a king had handed that lollipop to Ryan because it could set a bad example if kids saw children taking treats from strangers.

My son is just like Ryan in this book; he constantly comes up with excuses to get out of going to bed, making this book a helpful tool for me. The illustrations were lovely, and I appreciated the touch of magic the author added. The book's explanation of why kids need their beauty rest was another plus for me.

I gave it 4 out of 5 because I think most kids will enjoy it and find it relatable. The book seems to have been professionally edited; I couldn't find any mistakes in it. It was simple to grasp and read quickly. Unfortunately, I had to deduct a point because I was having trouble uploading the eBook, but it was still readable with some effort on the reader's part.

I think this book would be helpful for kids who have trouble falling asleep or who make up reasons not to go to bed.

Sounds very relatable for kids who say excuses when it's bedtime. My niece loves watching movies at night, and sometimes she was glued and doesn't want to go to bed early. I'd like to read it for her. Your review is wonderful!

I was impressed by your review. The children book by Ada Aguilar can be appealing to kids who often make excuses not to go to bed. If they read this one and see how Ryan was magically reduced in size and got carried by the firefly for an amazing adventure. It is a good book that I consider buying for children around our house. They will enjoy the magic and the funny illustration of objects with bright colors.

The review is well-written and brings a valid concern of getting candy from a stranger. Will bring that into context on my full read. Sounds like a match with nature and pleasant dreams to help other children be able to sleep.

Overall, it seems like a helpful and enjoyable book for kids who have trouble falling asleep or making excuses to avoid bedtime. The fact that it's professionally edited and easily readable is another positive point. The only drawback mentioned is the eBook's page presentation, but it's good to know that the story remains accessible despite the formatting issue.

Sounds like an interesting book for the kids who are stubborn to sleep at night. I think most of the kids are reluctant to go to sleep at night. It's actually funny and cute, how they tend to take multiple naps during the day and are owls at night, haha. But it's also necessary that they get a good night's rest for their overall well being. Definitely gonna read this, pretty sure it's cute and entertaining! Good review you've given here.

I don't have kids of my own but this book sounds like an excellent way to put my younger siblings to bed. Thank you for an awesome review. I love how you pointed out that the author romanticised taking sweets from strangers a bit.

This is an interesting children's book highlighting a unique protagonist, and the value of sleep to children as it provides energy, health, and thinking clearly. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has a well-written OnlineBookClub review. Congrats on the BOTD.

I don’t have any kids in my life myself so not a great judge of books for an audience this young, but from what the review’s saying, it sounds like this could be a good little story to help get kids get to sleep at bedtime.

"Ryan Daniels: Good Night, Firefly" by Ada Aguilar is a children's book and the second book in the series. The boy Ryan tried to fall asleep for a long time and then a firefly flew into the room and he shrunk to his size.
