A super-cute bedtime book. I did a bug-themed storytime with Kindergarten classes and they loved it, especially the part where Dot the ladybug and pill bug pee before bed!

Overall a cute story. There is an incorrect word use that should have been caught in editing ("wraps" on a door instead of raps).

I got this cute little children's book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
It tells the story of a little bug checking in with all her friends and doing nightly routines with them before bed.

The artwork is AMAZING and cute. I loved it.

I was able to review Good Night, Sleep Tight by Esther van den Berg for free from Netgalley for providing me with an advanced ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Good Night and Sleep Tight is a fun look at the bugs staying at the Bug Hotel and their rituals for what they do before bed. From brushing their teeth to going to the toilet. The book most likely mimics a lot of children’s rituals before bed too.
Beautiful illustrations.  Colorful and attractive for the young ones.  
This is the perfect book to read before bedtime and it will bring a whole lot of joy.

Children who enjoy bugs will enjoy all these bugs getting ready for bed in Good Night, Sleep Tight! Moms and dads or caregivers can read this book as they help the child complete each step toward going to bed! The illustrations have great detail and will be fun for children to explore. Every parent needs an arsenal of good night books and this book by Esther van den Berg will be a favorite

A cute bedtime story about getting ready for bed. Dot the Ladybird arrives at the Bug Hotel just in time to make sure everyone is getting ready for bed properly. She visits each bug with her checklist, stopping first at Dung Beetle's room, where he is getting into the bath. Dot gets in the bath with him, which admittedly seems odd, but it will make a sort of sense later. Next is Stick Bug, who is picking out pajamas, and Dot puts some on as well. On to Fly's room, where they brush their teeth (also a bit odd), then to Pill Bug, who is on the toilet- I'm guessing this hotel has a communal bathroom maybe, because it shows stalls, with no doors, and Dot decides to have a pee before bed too. That seems.....overly friendly, to say the least. Finally, she heads to Bookworm's room, where they read bedtime stories, after which Dot goes to her own room. She checks her list, and sees she's done everything- bath, put on pj's, brushed her teeth, used the toilet, and had a bedtime story. Apparently she was getting ready for bed too, but it just seems weird to me to do these things with your neighbors. As she gets into bed, the other bugs knock on the door and peek in- they forgot their good night kiss! Again, weird, I don't kiss my neighbors good night. Still, I think it will make kids laugh, and the illustrations are full of fun little details to look for. A good story to help establish and/or reinforce bedtime habits.

This is an adorable little book with wonderfully bright illustrations and a cute storyline! There are so many things to look at on each page, and Esther van den Berg did a wonderful job of bringing her words to life. I was a little disturbed when Dot takes a bath with Dung Beetle and pees with Pill Bug, but other than that, it is a cute little story!
