I was absolutely blown away by this book!
One of the first things that struck me was the breathtaking artwork. The attention to detail in every illustration is truly impressive, showcasing the immense talent of Haas. Each page is a visual treat, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the beauty of the scenes depicted. It’s evident that a lot of care and skill went into every single one.
Another highlight for me was how the story whisks readers away to such a variety of diverse locations. The author skillfully captures the essence of each destination, intertwining hidden treasures that will undoubtedly excite those familiar with the area, offering a fresh take on a
familiar place.
The repetitive motif of saying goodnight to different parts of the city adds a comforting and nostalgic touch to the narrative, reminiscent of classic bedtime stories like “Goodnight Moon.”
The rhyming elements in the book also add an extra layer of charm, making it even more engaging and enjoyable to read.
Personally, it brought back fond memories of traveling with my own family to similar places. And, after reading “Goodnight Surf City,” Huntington Beach has now become a must-visit destination on my bucket list! It not only beautifully captures the quintessence of this stunning location but also serves as a reminder of the joy and wonder that can be found in exploring new places with
loved ones.
