Good Zap, Little Grog

My daughter is 14 now and still lets me read this every now and then to her! This was her favorite bedtime book for many years. I wish it was in reprint so I could buy it for friends having babies and grandchildren.

My 16 mos old daughter loves this book. We read it at least once a day. I love the idea that "the giant chiwangas are starting to sink" means that the day is almost over. Silly, calming and engaging.

This is a completely charming book, showing a child going through his day, from waking to sleep, in a world surrounded by imaginary and intriguing creatures. They are vaguely Dr. Suess-like, but the illustrations and simple, short rhymes appeal to even smaller children. My one-year old nephew loves it (again and again), and my child, now eight, enjoys these unique creatures and the made-up words. It is a book that I'm happy to read too, especially in the evening, since the child goes to sleep in the end. I highly recommend this book, with its great illustrations and rhythm.
