About Goodnight
Review Author Jory John easily handles the dry humor that has taken over children's literature in recent years. Duck's energetic appeals will have even the littlest pajama-clad readers laughing. John's tale offers plenty for readers of all ages. Kids will laugh ... parents will commiserate. Both young and old will anticipate--and appreciate--the ending's twist. Most kids go through a favorite-book phase; break the boredom with Bear and Duck. From kid-friendly dialogue to sleepy-time-friendly illustrations, Goodnight Already! will be an oft-requested book. -- BookPage, December 2, 2014"Ridiculously wonderful!" -- BuzzFeed, December 3, 2015John and Davies bring fresh humor to a familiar scenario, tracing the push and pull between a character desperate to get some shut-eye and one who is far from ready for bed. Both the repartee and the sight gags display excellent timing, making the most of the classic comic tension between a hulking grouch and a diminutive pest. But this is also a physically lovely book. Davies uses nocturnal blues, geometric patterning, and contrasting scale in a way that makes every page pop. The one thing readers will not say about this book is "Enough already!" -- Publishers Weekly An exhausted bear on the way to bed must fend off the incursions of his chatty, bored, coffee-drinking duck friend in this witty take on trouble in the sleep department. Davies's spot-on illustrations are both whimsical and tender, adding a feeling of intimacy to John's humor: Bear's got baggy eyes, rumpled fur and a purple mini-kimono; Duck is the essence of neediness disguised as jauntiness as he gesticulates wildly with fingerlike wings." -- The New York Times, December 21, 2014"Poor Bear! He just wants to sleep but Duck, his pesky and persistent neighbor, is wide awake and wants to play. Children and adults will both delight in John's hysterical picture book that is sure to become a bedtime classic. Davies's brilliant illustrations add to the hilarity of Goodnight Already!" -- Indie Next List, Winter '14-'15 Product Description *An E. B.
