Searching for a Goodnight book - NOT Goodnight Moon

Hello all! We have a reference question here at Romulus Public Library that has stumped me. The patron is looking for a book she read to her now 15 year old daughter when she was little. She remembers it as a book about a little girl saying good night to objects in her room, she specifically remembers her saying good night to socks. It is explicitly NOT Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, and we have determined it is also not Goodnight, Goodnight, Sleepyhead by Ruth Krause or Bedtime, Nelly by Jan Barger. If anyone knows what book this might be, please help us out! Thanks in advance! -- Tee Versele Head of Youth Services and Outreach Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Rd.

Hi all, I found this title about a little girl saying good night to animals and objects. The title is as follows: I Just Want to Say Good Night - by Rachel Isadora Here is a picture of the cover [image: d12cd589-069f-4ce6-945d-4f6aec065fc7.png] I hope this helps.

This is an oldie but a goodie, def features a little girl going to bed. I haven't read it but parents commenting say it's "a favorite, simple and quick to read, cozy feeling" etc. Little Golden Book [image: image.png] On Fri, Sep 8, 2023 at 3:15 PM Monica Porter via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:

Here's another to consider-- read it to my kids 20 or so years ago. Little girl says a goodnight blessing for the parts of her life (family, milk and bread, etc), including her shoes, (not socks though...) [image: image.png] On Mon, Sep 11, 2023 at 10:05 AM Jean Fellows <progcoord@gladl.org> wrote:
