The title is very straightforward, which I actually like for a children's book. A child can probably understand immediately what the story is going to be about, my wife is a super woman i must say lol

I like books that give children words for feelings they don’t quite know how to explain yet. Being scared at night is one of those things they can struggle to put into words
- Chen
Nighttime fears can seem so small to adults, but they feel very real to children. I appreciate that the book seems to take those feelings seriously
- Angel
I’m wondering if this would work well as a bedtime story. The gentle tone in the description sounds like it might actually help rather than getting children more excited before sleep
- Elena
he friendship part is what I like about this. Children sometimes respond better to seeing another character experience the same feelings than having an adult explain everything to them

My niece went through a phase where she was afraid to sleep alone. It eventually passed, but I remember how difficult bedtime could become. This sounds like a comforting story for that stage

My daughter has a very active imagination at night 😂. During the day she’s completely fine, but once the lights go off, suddenly every little sound is suspicious
- Diane
I like the idea of validating the fear instead of simply telling a child there’s nothing to be scared of. Sometimes they just need someone to understand how they feel
- Daniel
The farmyard setting sounds sweet. I like that Bingo and Clover are dealing with something children can actually relate to rather than just going on some big adventure
- Samuel
This reminds me of when my nephew used to call someone into his room every few minutes after bedtime. Maybe a story like this would have helped him settle down a little
- Esther
My little one has started getting scared of the dark recently, so the timing of this book caught my attention. I like that it doesn’t make the fear seem silly

I think a lot of children go through that stage where bedtime suddenly becomes the hardest part of the day. A story that helps them talk about it could be really useful
