Goodnight NOLA is an easy level book that states that it is "An Endearing Bedtime Book for All Ages". It is a book for all ethnicities, classes, and genders. I believe for reading purposes it is an k-3 level book. There are words that will be hard for reading beginners. The names of products and of businesses might have to be explained to younger audiences. The pictures showing the landmark and iconic images that are synonymous with the culture, rich flavor, products of New Orleans are nicely illustrate the things people love about New Orleans. The only part of the book that shows that things change over time is that it lists "The Hornets" as the basketball team which is no longer here. ( )

This book just about sums up the city of New Orleans. Goodnight NOLA pays homage to the city's food, music, historical landmarks, and athletic teams. I think a tourist should definitely buy this for a kid instead of a t-shirt. ( )

I absolutely loved Goodnight NOLA ! This would be a great book to read to children that lives in New Orleans getting ready for bed. This book says goodnight to all of the New Orleans related items seen on a daily basis. The illustrations throughout this book is phenomenal. ( )

A simple but graciously explained poem of New Orleans and all its lovely qualities. This poem is rhyming and is set in New Orleans. The poem really flowed. If I was someone who was not from New Orleans, I would curious of all the characteristics they mentioned. They talked about the food, major landmarks, and artifacts. ( )

A twist to the classic Goodnight Moon. I loved this story most lithely because every night as a child before bed I red Goodnight Mood and now it's a story about my town. However, this would not be a book I read to young children who are not from New Orleans/Louisiana because they would not understand some of the phrases we use. It is a fun easy bedtime story for children and I recommend it to anyone that has sense of NOLA. ( )
