I recently got my hands on 'Good Night Aquarium' for my niece's birthday, and it was an instant hit! The vibrant illustrations immediately caught her attention—especially the diverse cast of kids exploring the aquarium. She kept pointing at the pages, giggling at the octopus hiding behind coral.

What surprised me was how sneakily educational it is. While reading about 'tucking in' the sea turtles, we stumbled on fun facts about their habitats. My niece now proudly announces that 'sea turtles eat jellyfish' to anyone who’ll listen. The blend of storytelling and subtle learning feels effortless, like dipping fries in a milkshake—unexpected but delightful.

The book’s durability passed the toddler test when my niece tried to 'share' her juice with the angelfish page. A quick wipe saved it! I’ve since gifted two more copies—one for a 2-year-old who loves pressing his nose against real aquarium glass, and another for a 5-year-old who’s obsessed with marine trivia. Both parents reported back that it’s become a bedtime staple. Pro tip: Pair it with a stuffed dolphin for maximum squeals.
