These are a few of my favorite things...

Remember the book Good Night Moon? Well they've branched out, far out.
This same author now offers a Good Night book for several locations such as Texas, America, California, Colorado, New York City, Washington DC, Beach, and the World just to name a few.
Although these are simple board books which are normally relegated to babies and toddlers, the information on the pages prompts older children to ask questions and become intrigued with new places. For example when reading Good Night America to Savannah we stayed on the Washington D.C. page forever talking about the national monuments and even the logistics of our government. On the next page we were discussing the everglades and the wildlife that inhabits there. These are perfect if you are embarking on a vacation to a new place this summer with your kids. Or they are a great conversation starter if you just want them to know there is a world out there beyond our city even if we can't get out there and see it right now.
