The Night Before New Year’s (Paperback)

The newest title in Natasha Wing’s bestselling Night Before series!

I want to start off by saying that The Night Before New Year’s is geared towards preschool to kindergarten children.  While my oldest daughter surpasses that age, it was still a great book to read together with her and my younger daughter, the preschooler.  I like themed-holiday books (in case you couldn’t tell after my five years of blogging on Momma’s Bacon) so I look for new and different books each year.  The Night Before New Year’s is actually a book from 2009 because I couldn’t find a newer book that I haven’t already reviewed!  HA.  However, I’m glad I did get a chance to read The Night Before New Year’s to my girls because it’s a nice way to spend the New Year!

In The Night Before New Year’s, it is aptly named for the title as it is the night before New Year’s Day!  It’s the perfect book for young children who are trying SO HARD to stay up until midnight.  In fact, even my first grader has yet to make it to midnight on New Year’s Eve.  There is so many fun things for the kids to do and wear, like playing with sparkly streamers to wearing festive party hats.  The kids pig out on food, play game after game, and slowly realize that they are so sleepy they aren’t sure if they can make it to when the clock strikes twelve.  The book is filled with colorful illustrations, fun rhyming, and easy to understand.  On top of that, it shows how many people celebrate the coming of the New Year.

Happy New Year 2017!
