I just love this book. I love the sweet story about a sleepover with three friends, I love the subtle humor found in the simply elegant illustrations, and I love the nod to famous classic bedtime stories.The thing that these classic bedtime stories have in common are quotable snippets that bring the story from one generation to the next. For this book it is the heartwarming tradition found towards the end as the friends are being put to bed. Before they fall asleep, they are asked to name the things they are thankful for and the result is a poem listing all the little moments throughout the day and ending with, "A long, long list of that and this, ending with a good-night kiss. Kiss kiss kiss". For me, I just know this will be the line we will take from it and add to our bedtime routine.Highly recommended especially as a bedtime story! This has all the right elements to be a new classic for sure.
Oh my gosh, what an adorable book! Everything about this book is fantastic...the characters are absolutely adorable, the storyline is cute, and illustrations are well done. My kids all liked this book - especially my 3 yr old. Makes a great bedtime storybook!
McDonnell blends humor and a sensitive message of gratitude beautifully. A MUST have! My three year old had me read it three times in a row the first night.
My 2 year old daughter loves this book, it's her new favorite. It's a sweet story about friends, what we're thankful for and sharing. We read it every night and it helps get her settled into her crib at bedtime.
Masterfully crafted and illustrated - from the storyline to the paintings to the production - this a beautiful book with irresistible characters and a subtle visual twist at the end that reveals what's really been going on.

The drawings make this book. It's perfect for end-of-the-day reading and delivers a fun twist at the end. My daughter loves the character names, which were probably chosen for their obvious alliteration qualities. I like the idea of teaching kids to be grateful for the simple things in life.
Thank you and Good Night is a lovely little story that encourages imaginations and nurtures grateful hearts. It harkens back to the days of Goldilocks, Winnie the Pooh, Babar and the Velveteen Rabbit. Patrick McDonnell's drawings and colors are exquisite, and his bedtime rhyme is especially touching. You will count your blessings after reading this dreamy tale of Maggie and her three animal friends.
