You have probably seen the Good Night Our World series in all kinds of places from libraries to airports. Each board book celebrates a certain area or topic such as Denver, Montreal, California, the Beach or the Farm.  But Good Night World, the latest book in the series allows toddlers and preschoolers to travel the planet just before they’re tucked into their own cozy beds for the night.  As if mountains, dinosaur digs, and volcanoes aren’t enough to stimulate the curiosity of any child, this board book introduces children to camel rides in the desert, kayaking on the Arctic and a quick tour of the Great Wall of China.

New and exciting vocabulary words are just a page away, and new concepts like protecting wetlands, cleaning up beaches, and conserving water and electricity are presented in rhyming words and colorful illustrations little kids can understand. The book ends with that wonder of all wonders, gazing at the stars above.

Parents have a real desire to introduce their children to different cultures and this CD from the Baby Einstein Company ties us all together with music from Africa to Australia.  And, of course, it’s not just for babies––older children and parents are sure to appreciate the global sounds from seven continents.  You’ll be glad you added Baby Einstein:  World Music to your collection.
