What Kind of Book is Good Night, World
Reviews
A very fun premise with darling illustrations of animals saying goodnight in different langagues. I appreciate that they each have the phonetic spelling and a sign saying where each animal is, but some of the animals say "good night" in more than one language, and I wish that was clearly marked alongside each one (at the end of the book, it explains what animals are speaking which languages, but you might not be able to infer which "good night" on the page was for which language when there are two).
Darling illustrations, slower read. Learning to pronounce each new language on each page makes it a less smooth flow. This would be fun to read with older kids to teach them the sounds of other languages and learn a little bit more about the world.

Aleksandra Szmidt grew up in a town in the south of Poland and currently resides in New Zealand. In Poland, she worked as a graphic designer. Upon moving, she decided to pursue her dream as a freelance illustrator. From her home studio, Aleksandra creates one-of-a-kind artwork for clients across the world.

She loves both traditional and digital painting, so she also likes to mix them.
