Review of Stevie Tenderheart Books A Second Kiss Goodnight (A Bedtime Story)
[Following is a volunteer review of "Stevie Tenderheart Books A Second Kiss Goodnight (A Bedtime Story)" by Steve William Laible.]
Review:
Stevie, the protagonist in Steve William Laible's "A Second Kiss Goodnight," breaks the mold When it comes to bedtime companions. His unending desire for an additional "second kiss goodnight" unfolds a whimsical escapade within his dreams. Picture a procession of inquisitive creatures – a knowledgeable owl, jovial earthworms extolling the pleasures of burrowing – with each encounter marked by Stevie's unwavering request. This comical theme runs through a captivating storyline as Stevie embarks on an exhilarating expedition across both land and sky.
Engaging in majestic flights with eagles, playful dives with dolphins, and even a moonlit journey with a talkative bat, Stevie's dreamworld brims with animal encounters. Each interaction subtly imparts unique traits and habitats, delivering a subtle educational undertone without compromising the fanciful ambiance. Amidst the thrill, a deeper yearning surfaces. Stevie comes to realize that, despite the breathtaking dreams, nothing can replace the warmth and security of his caregiver's love. This pivotal realization guides him back to his room, where he finally receives the coveted second kiss – along with a comforting hug – that his heart truly craves.
"A Second Kiss Goodnight" transcends the realm of a typical bedtime tale. It serves as a fanciful exploration of imagination, the potency of love, and the significance of connections. While Stevie's odyssey is fantastical, the real enchantment lies in the simplicity of affection and the assurance it provides.
Nonetheless, there are potential stumbling blocks. The engaging rhymes and extensive vocabulary captivate, but the story's length may test the patience of younger listeners. Additionally, certain animal descriptions might necessitate parental clarification for the very young.
Despite these minor concerns, "A Second Kiss Goodnight" delivers a delightful fusion of imagination, humor, and education. It prompts children to envision the animal encounters, nurturing creativity and involvement. The recurring plea for a second kiss creates a playful call-and-response dynamic, while the subtle inclusion of animal facts sparks curiosity and learning. Ultimately, the narrative celebrates the significance of bedtime rituals, love, and security, imparting a comforting and relatable message that transcends the fantastical dreamland adventure.
Whether your family relishes interactive storytelling or simply seeks a charming bedtime read, "A Second Kiss Goodnight" stands as a valuable addition to your routines. Tailored for children aged 4-7, with parental guidance for younger ones, especially those enamored with animals, adventure, and lighthearted scenarios, this book, despite its length, promises a worthwhile journey into nurturing children's imagination and celebrating the profound impact of love and connection.
Given the thorough editing of this book, I am inclined to rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
