Children's Book: Penguin & Moose Brave the Night

About the book:

In this charming picture book, best friends Penguin and Moose learn how to be strong despite their worries as they face their fear of the dark.

Penguin's excited to go to his first sleepover at his friend Moose's house! But Moose doesn't use a nightlight, and Penguin is afraid of the dark. To protect himself from the things that go bump in the night, Penguin prepares with an array of tactics and tools, including a slingshot, a football helmet, and bug spray. But when nothing works to chase Penguin's fears away, Moose shares his own trick: remembering that God is always with him. Written by best-selling author Hannah C. Hall, this second book in the charming Penguin & Moose series is the perfect bedtime story to reassure scaredy-penguins everywhere.

My thoughts:
Moose and Penguin are having a sleepover.  Penguin has come up with several tactics to protect himself in the night for whatever may happen.  Moose on the other hand isn't afraid at all.  Penguin eventually realizes that Moose is asleep without all those extra forms of "protection" so maybe he is safe and should go to sleep too.  

The protection tactics brought by Penguin are creative.  My favorite part was that Moose had shared his pillow with Penguin.  Stitched on the pillowcase was the verse "So do not fear, for I am with you."-- Isaiah 41:10

If you have a child not scared of the dark, I wouldn't recommend reading a book like this one to give them something to worry about (if they are prone to worry!). However, if they are having trouble with bedtime then this book would be helpful. 

The illustrations are cute.  I like the idea of a moose and penguin being friends.
