Review: NIGHT NIGHT, GROOT by Brendan Deenan (C)


Written by Brendan Deneen
Illustrated by Cale Atkinson
Release date: April 4th, 2017
Published by: Marvel Press (Disney-Hyperion)
Genre: Children's Picture Books
Format: Hardcover, eBook
Format read: Hardcover


SUMMARY

It's been a long day for baby Groot and he's ready to be tucked in for bed.
Just as his eyes start to close, Rocket Raccoon bursts onto the scene!

Groot can't go to sleep yet, there's a whole galaxy that needs to be defended and they must work together to save the day! Then maybe, just maybe, Groot will finally get the rest he deserves! 
MY REVIEW

Who can resist little baby Groot??? 

In NIGHT NIGHT, GROOT, little Groot is getting ready for bed... until Rocket pulls him back into one more adventure for the day! 

Groot and Rocket soar through space running into other well-known Marvel characters - an amazing way to introduce your little ones to the franchise and also give them a sweet, fun-filled and adventure-packed story before bedtime... everyone will surely be sleepy-eyed once this epic story is done.

The illustrations are so inviting, full of energy and warm colors - engaging enough to keep you going, but soft enough to let you settle in and hope that Groot gets through his story before dozing off and leaving Rocket behind.

I highly recommend this book to everyone who not only loves Guardians of the Galaxy and Marvel comics, or comics in general, but to everyone who loves amazing illustrations and an easy to follow bed time story to share with the family! 


*I received a finished hardcover copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts expressed here are my own.
