PreS-K–Vivid acrylic art showcases vegetables getting ready for bed in this bilingual (Spanish and English) board book. Readers say good night to each individual vegetable in the garden in this soothing story. The addition of the Spanish text next to the English will help it reach a wide audience. “Y lose vegetales que estan creciendo van quedandose dormidos./ Tossing, turning veggies need to get some rest.”

VERDICT This belongs on every board book shelf.
