Book Review: Goodnight Manger by Laura Sassi

We are avid readers at our house and are always happy to read a story about Jesus to our kids.

We have and love Goodnight Ark so I was excited to share Goodnight Manger with my monkeys. I thought it was very cute but my kids were kind of neutral about it. I am guessing they’ll be more excited for it once Christmas hits, but I guess we’ll find out!

(Me) "Did you like the book?"

(3-year-old) "Yes! The book's good. I like Baby Jesus. BUT. I didn't like that sound you made."

(Me) "What sound?"

(3-year-old) "The silly one."

(Me) "The donkey sound?"

(3-year-old) "I don't know, Mom. The awful sound."

(me) "What did you like better, the story or the pictures?"

(3-year-old) "The pictures. And I think that goat is a bad guy."

(Me) “Did YOU like the book?”

(1-year-old) “Uh, yeah.”

(Me) “What did you like about it?”

(1-year-old) [points to donkey on cover] “Heh-haaaaaa!”
