Title: Good Night!             Author: Claire Masurel        Illustrator:  Marie Henry                             Publisher:  Chronicle Books
 




Synopsis:  Small child rounds up her posse for bed.

Readability:  Fun for parents -- the dolls and stuffed animals have amusing names like Oscar and Jojo.
Reasonably entertaining for Chloe, since each of the critters is identified as silly for its own reason.  Text is sufficiently repetitive to be amusing.  Not too hard to read when Chloe is active and is flipping the pages herself -- there's no special order in which the critters need to be rounded up.

Visual Appeal (i.e., how entrancing Chloe finds it while turning the pages herself with nothing read to her):
Nice watercolors with animals and objects that are easy for Chloe to decode.  At this point, she still prefers simpler pictures, but she thinks these are good, too.

Tooth-appeal:  Nibbled, but not gnawed.
