"Good Night Oregon"


Book: Good Night Oregon by Dan McCarthy and Joe Veno
Target audience: This is a board book
Topic: Travel
Basic summary: As children prepare for bed, they review all the sites to enjoy in Oregon.

It's our goal to eventually take the kids to see all of Oregon. This book provides an introduction to many of the wonderful places to visit in our state. As the narrator goes through a day, the reader gets to visit parts of Oregon like Crater Lake, Pendleton Round Up, the Oregon Zoo, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, and Smith Rock (just to name a portion). By the end of the book, it's night time, and we are saying 'Good Night' to Portland (perfect for us). The illustrations have impressive accuracy, and my kids love seeing some of the places we've been referenced in the story. 

Gift idea: Have a family member that lives out of town? This book is part of a whole series. Try Good Night Chicago or Good Night Minnesota. Many more options are available. See them here.
