I bought the book for my daughter as I liked the overview it gave of the things going on in California. (Okay, I also admit, that as a Computer Scientist I liked how they refer to me as "smart"). But as others have said, the writing is pretty awful. The text simply doesn't read nicely, and there are quite a few complex words that could have been replaced with simpler ones. I find myself not even reading the text, and instead making up my own simpler versions.
Bought this book for my baby so she would know about her home state. Am disappointed that there is no mention of Sierra skiers, xcountry skiers, or snowboarders. Baby is now two and I just noticed that the first page, "Good morning, Pacific Ocean," shows the sun RISING OVER THE PACIFIC. No no no. how did this get past the editor ? Knock off two stars for this gross inaccuracy. Oh also something is labeled a redwood tree when it appears to me to be a sequoia.Othwise good book. I use as a teaching tool and just point out the correction.
We live in Minnesota and my husband is from California, so this is such a nice way to get our daughter excited about things in California. There's a page where it says something like "hello California beach babies, do you like to play in the sand?" and she will yell "yes!" It talks about things from all over the state, like Yosemite, Big Sur, Joshua trees, Redwood Forests, San Fran, Sacramento, Hollywood, etc. my daughter often chooses this book, definitely a favorite in our house!
Cute little book about California. It showcases some of the more popular places and things that California is known for. Got this as a gift for my cousin's baby in Australia. Makes a great personalized gift and is a fun read for baby as well.
We first had Good Night Cape Cod from our daughter's grandma. Good night California is a nice tour of California's iconic imagery. The only thing I would've added was a page on Watsonville strawberries and a page on almond orchards.
I'm a fan of the Good Night books. We had visitors to California so I bought this for the baby visiting as a gift and souvenir of her first trip to California. Also made me realize there are lots of places we need to still visit in our home state!
We have several books the "Goodnight World" series. We got this one for our sons when we were living in California. Like all of the books in this series, this one has great illustrations that are full of things to talk about. The words are simple and there really isn't a story. But, on each page you can talk about myriad things. For instance, the first page has a pier with fishermen, surfers, a surfer who just crashed, whales, seagulls, a runner and people sitting on the beach. So, each time I read the book, I can change it a little bit to talk about different things. I also like to let my toddler "read" to me and this book is perfect for that. Since he can't actually read, it gives him lots of things he can talk about as he creates a story to tell me. The books gives the highlights of California, the beach, the mountains, the deserts, the valleys, Hollywood, even the traffic. It shows California animals like the condors, bears, mountain lions, and tourist attractions like the capitol, Death Valley, and Yosemite Falls. If you live in California or have visited some of the places, this is definitely a fun way to say "goodnight".
Originally received this book as a gift and liked it so much that we have sent it to friends who have children or are expecting. It's a cleaver way to tell/show/explain the highlights that California has to offer. Super Cute!
