Good Night (Not Really)
Book One in the Not Really Series
Good Night (Not Really) is the first book in the Not Really series. It features Lisa and Charlie in a humorous counting book with darling friends and a surprise ending! (It’s really a good morning book.) And unlike many counting books, this one helps children learn to count forward as well as backward.
I’d like to give a special shout out to my Ukranian illustrator, Karina. Together, we made words and pictures morph into something special.
