Ten Little Night Stars by Deb Gruelle


This book – “Ten Little Night Stars” – by Deb Gruelle and illustrated by Gabi Murphy is an adorable bedtime book. Designed to put children to sleep – or to be used as part of their bedroom routine – this a simple story with a purpose and vibrant illustrations.

Children ages 0-2 would enjoy this book the most. It is simple, but engaging. Each spread features an animal child and parent: an elephant, a panda, a lion, etc. The illustrations are intentionally drawn to lure boys and girls. Each page spread takes place in a room in the animal child’s house, and some rooms are drawn in boys’ themes and some in girls’. Each room has a window in which a new star appears each time the pages turn. Each new star is announced with a rhyme – written in such a way that the kid can guess the number that comes next.

This would be a fun read-along book as the kids try to guess the numbers. The pictures are bubbly and captivating and contain lots for kids to look at: rubber duckies on the window sill, building blocks and stuffed animals on the floor, a mobile hanging above the dresser, and more.

I highly recommend this book! I sweet, simple read that is intentionally written and luringly illustrated.


The publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through BookSneeze®. I was not required to write a positive review.
