I went to Boston and took a picture with my auntie and cousin on the “‘make way for ducklings” statue. 🐥 . That was my favorite part of the book.

The first thing that I noticed about these books is their incredibly clunky and awkward prose. The second thing that I noticed is that rather than being a bedtime book, like I expected from the title, they start out in the morning and go through the whole day... often feeling random and haphazard. The illustrations are mediocre.
In short, while I think that this series of books make for popular baby shower and first birthday gifts from family and friends hailing from the featured locales, they're poorly written and not worth the money.
The few that I have are in my donation pile already.

I was really excited to see Good Night Boston for the free title of the day because I was interested in how the authors created a book on a specific city. The pictures in this book were not as bright as the Good Night State books, however, I did enjoy the book. It was neat to see different places in Boston, including different historical places, like the Boston Tea Party ship and Paul Revere Statue. This book can definitely open up a lot of discussion about different places and people that are significant to Boston. The authors also included all of the sports teams in Boston: Red Sox, New England Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins. I would definitely recommend this book if you live in Boston or are planning to visit soon.

My dad bought this book for my brother when he was born because he is from Boston, I love this book and would recommend it for children.

Not particularly well written, but a fun exploration for kids of all the landmarks in Boston.

Endless spinoff possibilities from the original Good Night, Moon. A good way to highlight some local city vibes but not the most creative endeavor. I think they should have at least rhymed.

Okay, so, we live in Boston, okay? And we got this as a birthday gift from the grandparents who live just outside of Boston. And... it's a super-touristy book. It's not a bedtime book, either. The day starts at the morning and we go all day and see all of the sights in Boston, which one, is unrealistic, and two, doesn't make for much in the way of continuity or plot, and yes I do realize it's a board book. And to be honest, I wouldn't consider the student population a tourist attraction? Also, heyyyyyyy, there's definitely white people dressed as Native Americans on the page about the Boston Tea Party, which, while factual, is perhaps a little much for a board book. Also the prose is super clunky.
On the plus side it's a sturdy board book, and the illustrations, while not the greatest or cutest I've seen, feature people of all different skin colors, as well as someone using a wheelchair, so points for that.
But The Man and I just read this for bedtime, then looked at each other, and said NOPE.

We just happened to come across this shortly after we read Good Night Farm. I didn't know it was a series, but now I'll definitely be on the lookout for others! This is a great book for kids in the Boston area. It covers familiar landmarks/museums and even has you say goodnight to our local sports teams (near and dear to the heart of every Bostonian!). I thought it was adorable. I hope it will be more meaningful to my son when he's old enough to have visited and recognize more of these places. He's still a little young for it.

My daughter loves this book, we went to Boston and gives us a way to remember what we saw. When we visit a city as tourist we try to find a Kids book to help keep the memories. She loves the Aquarium page. I am only worried that saying Go Red Sox, Celtic, Patriots, and Bruins might confuse her fan loyalty.

Just read this to my two year old. I think she was agitated by the clunky, awkward phrasing of this book. I was agitated by the utter disregard for geographical accuracy in the illustrations. Two thumbs down.

Too in depth now but when he gets older and visits nana and papa, it'll be great!

I love the idea of this series, though some are better done than others. Very inclusive of race, gender, ability. Wording can be awkward at times, sometimes very much so.
