Snow White's evil stepmother, the wolves who hunted Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs, the Troll who laid in wait for the Three Billy Goats Gruff - all of these fairy-tale baddies return home at night to the castle they share, relaxing and enjoying a congenial evening together away from the demands of villainy...

With a rhyming text that entertains and involves, and colorful, appealing artwork that grabs the reader/listener's attention, Good Night, Baddies would make for an excellent read-aloud, especially at bedtime. Children who love the classic fairy-tales will get a particular thrill out of seeing the villains of those stories appear in a story of their own, all together. Recommended to anyone looking for fun new bedtime books, as well as to those who appreciate fractured fairy-tales.… (meer)

We LOVE this book, my son makes me read it every night. He learned several sign language signs and words by asking about things in this book. The story is wonderful, the illustrations are simply amazing! It has subtle humor, like the mouse calling the egg "little roundish thing," or each animal trying to make it look like them. The illustrations are gorgeous, in depth, and feature a lot of wonderful nature items. Views of the forest, leaves and snail shells up close. It's as wonderful to look at as it is to read.

We originally checked it out from the library, and I knew instantly it was a keeper, I ordered my own copy right away!… (meer)
