In Bedtime For Ella: A Giggly Furbottom Adventure by Goose In Gold, a young girl named Ella goes to bed one night and is surprised when a monster visits her at her bedside. Ella, of course, becomes scared like any child would. However, she musters up enough courage to confront her fears. The way Ella goes about this would surprise anyone reading the book. Giggly Furbottom, the monster in Ella’s room, turns out to be sweet and funny, and they end up having an adventurous night.

The book’s illustrations are incredibly detailed, the colors are vibrant, and the color scheme is cohesive. These attributes make the book visually appealing. I appreciate that Ella and Giggly Furbottom have many varying facial expressions. Also, the characters look adorable.

I like the font style used in the book; however, the writing would be easier to read if the font size and line spacing were bigger. The full-page illustrations are beautiful but take up too much space, making the text look like an afterthought. I recommend the author address these issues to improve the book’s readability. Despite this, the story is enjoyable because it is written entirely in rhymes. The playful and lighthearted tone of the rhymes is perfect for capturing the attention of young children.

This book teaches some important lessons. Ella’s attitude can teach children that being brave and open-minded can change something scary into a positive experience. Children can also learn that even if people look different, they can build relationships based on shared hobbies and humor.

This book is also perfect for children who are afraid of monsters at night or nighttime in general. Ella and Giggly Furbottom’s story might help them realize that bedtime, even with the possibility of monsters, is only as scary as they make it. Bedtime can be exciting and fun if they use their imaginations.

I enjoyed the book because of the lessons children can learn, the beautiful illustrations, the playful writing style, and the lovable characters. Considering these things, I give Bedtime for Ella: A Giggly Furbottom Adventure a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. I removed one star from my rating because the writing was difficult to read due to the small font size and small spacing between the lines. If a parent has a child with nighttime fears, such as monsters in their room or a fear of the dark, I recommend this book to help them overcome their fears.

I appreciate the fact that the author, Goose in Gold, chose to write a children's book with the themes of bravery, open-mindedness, diversity, and sharing interests and humor with others who are different. Your suggestion to increase the size of the font is very important, as grandparents often read these books to their grandchildren and don't want to squint while they read. The bigger letters will also be conducive to the children learning to read by sight as the book is read to them. The big and bright illustrations in this book are a definite plus!

It’s interesting how this book helps kids face their fears with a fun twist. The idea of a monster turning into a friend sounds like a creative way to teach bravery. I also like that the review highlights the colorful illustrations and playful rhymes. It seems like a great story for bedtime.

A great book for children who are constantly afraid. How Ella faced her fears and musters courage to stand up to the monster will encourage young readers to do the same. This is because in standing up for herself, Ella discovered the fun side of Giggly Furbottom and they even had an adventure.
