Good Night, Blue ISBN 0689829507 - Steve Burns' fans will be thrilled to find him here; current fans of Blue, those who've only known the show with Donovan Patton, might not be so excited by that, but they'll still enjoy a sleep over at Blue's house! The illustrations by Jenine Pontillo are almost straight from the TV show, absolutely perfect.
Steve greets you when you arrive for your sleep over at Blue's house. After welcoming you, he and Blue take you step-by-step through the preparations for bed. From brushing your teeth to a bedtime song, you're in bed and ready for a story... until Steve remembers you've just had one!
The "story" is told by Steve, just as the show was. Rather than give orders (like Mom does!), Steve asks "What do we do next?", gently leading Blue and the reader. There is a lot of text (by Angela C. Santomero) - this isn't so much a book that you'd read at bedtime, when you've got your kid tucked in, but more something you'd read as you go through your bedtime routine. That might make it a tough book to enjoy for those who like to curl up and read but, then again, it just might make the entire "brush your teeth, go to bed" routine a little less a routine chore.

Really cute This book is really cute. If your kids like Blue, it is a great book. My son is 17 mos and likes to sit in his chair and look at the pictures.
It is a pretty good bedtime book, which is the reason I bought it. I got sick of "Goodnight Moon".
It starts out like the show does- shot of Steve's house, "Hey there..." Then it goes through Blue's whole bedtime routine. then it says "Good Night, its time to go to bed now..." It is cute and I recommend it.
Super Cute This book is cute and the perfect bedtime story for my 2 year old. There are several "bedtime" plots among the Blue's Clues set and they all do a good job of easing into slumber land by coming to a peaceful place at the end of the story.
Blue's a Hit I know Blue's biggest fan. His name is Jaylon and he's 19 months old. Blue can do no wrong and this book does not disaapoint. Steve and Blue take you through Blue's bedtime ritual. The steps are simple, the pictures are colorful, it's small enough to carry around and the book is sturdy enough to withstand eight teeth.
Blue goes to sleep...like all children do... A nice bedtime story for your child. She asks for Blue all the time.
