Reviews:
“Goodnight, Manger gives a clever spin on the familiar Nativity story, with a slightly frazzled mom who just wants her baby to sleep. The text is filled with lovely rhymes, making it a sweet bedtime story. The illustrations are beautiful. My animal loving preschoolers really enjoyed it and it made for a fun introduction to the classic story of Jesus’ birth.” – Amazon Review
“Laura Sassi and Jane Chapman have collaborated on another spectacular children’s book. I was blown away by their last book Goodnight, Ark. I didn’t think it could get any sweeter, and then it did, with Goodnight, Manger.” – Amazon Review
