Goodnight Glow Worms

By Aura Parker
Reviewed by Mia Macrossan
Aura is a creator whose previous published books include Meerkat SplashMeerkat Christmas, The Silly Seabed Song and Goodnight Glow Worms now published as a board book. Her work is characterised by a joyful energy, a sense of fun and lots of  play, all evident in this charming bedtime read.
The five glow worms are supposed to be ready for bed but they can’t seem to get to sleep. What do they need? A goodnight kiss for every one. One by one they fall asleep, ‘Yawing, stretching, not a peep. One more Glow Worm off to sleep.’ There is a minor panic when Blankie is lost but all ends well as the five switch off, snuggle in their beds and are sound asleep.
The idea of having to switch off to go to sleep is appealing and easily understood by children. Every child has their own ritual at bedtime and this book with its rhythmic rhymic text and expressive illustrations is an ideal addition to the pile of books to read at bedtime.
