I wouldn't mind reading more in the series. It's nothing special, really, but nice. A little too much emphasis in this one on Las Vegas - I mean, little kids don't need a page for Fremont Street after all! Pyramid Lake or Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park or Carson City as the State Capital, or even Street Vibrations, would have been better imo. But I'm sure every book is going to get similar complaints from its respective locals. The pictures are bright and the text graceful.

Summary: This is a charming bedtime story that takes young readers on a journey through the unique and beautiful landmarks of Arizona. The book celebrates the state’s natural wonders, cultural highlights, and famous attractions, such as the Grand Canyon, Saguaro National Park, Monument Valley, and historic Route 66. With its soothing rhymes and colorful illustrations, the story offers a perfect way to introduce children to Arizona’s diverse landscapes and traditions while saying show more goodnight to the state’s special places.
Comments: I thought that this book was very sweet, and was very similar to the book "Goodnight Moon", just more about Arizona and its unique characteristics. This book encapsulates all the special attributes of out state, and I think children from here or from somewhere else, would enjoy this sweet bedtime book. This book is informative of the nature and wildlife all around Arizona, and I think it would be a beneficial contribution to the classroom! show less

A fun read-aloud for babies and toddlers. It features a lot of different species/types of sharks -- many I hadn't heard of before which made it an enjoyable read for me as an adult.

Baby gift for a special little one. Not quite in the realm of Goodnight Moon, but still a nice intro to Philly.
