Baby is ready to sleep, so it's time to say good night―all the way from toes to nose!
With each new blanket-page longer than the previous one, the cozy check blanket gradually tucks the baby in. One by one, baby and parents together say good night to little feet, little knees, little legs . . . . And what about you, little eyes―are you ready to close?
Then the light clicks off, and everyone's fast asleep. Good night, baby!
Good Night, Belly Button is an affectionate and original bedtime ritual to lull any baby to sleep.

This innovative bedtime book isn't your typical wind-down story - it's an engaging, multidimensional experience that combines soothing visuals, early learning, and sweet parent-child bonding. As the pages gradually lengthen to mimic a blanket covering more of the baby, the gentle, repetitive text and vibrant illustrations guide little ones through the steps of getting their body ready for bed.
The genius of this book lies in how it manages to be both an enjoyable read-aloud and an effective tool for developing bedtime routine, body awareness, and vocabulary. My son loved being able to "read" the story by himself to his baby sister after a few shared family readings, building his confidence as an emerging reader. And the opportunities for pointing, naming, and gentle touch during the bedtime routine really reinforce those early learning concepts in a natural, comforting way.
Ultimately, "Good Night, Belly Button" transforms the mundane task of getting tucked in into something to look forward to. The creative format and high-quality illustrations make it a standout addition to any family's nighttime repertoire. It's the kind of book that truly celebrates the special bond between caregiver and child.
