More books begin with a good night book for 1-3-year-old toddlers. Initially, the parent or guardian reads to the toddler and prepares him for bed. In addition, there are ten illustrations of puppy breeds in the book. I also have a photo of my book on my home page, Writing & Mission Adventures along with my other books.

Specifically, I included two pages of photos of the puppies and their breed names in the book’s back matter.

Nite Nite, Puppies is available on Amazon.com in paperback and e-book form.

“Jane E. Ruth has given us another sweet children’s picture book in Nite Nite, Puppies: Buenas Noches, Cachorros. This is a wonderful book introducing children from 1-3 to the wide variety of breeds of dogs. Jane highlights ten breeds, with illustrations of each, as a child tells each breed good night. This book is sure to become a classic among children’s bedtime stories. The ten different breeds are Jack Russell Terrier, Golden Retriever, Boxer, Shih Tzu, Poodle, Dalmatian, Irish Water Spaniel, Labrador, Wire Fox Terrier, and Samoyed. I   believe these are some of the best breeds for children to have. Showing children that dogs come in many varieties also prepares the child to learn that there are many differences between humans and that all should be accepted with unconditional love. I highly recommend this book as a fun learning experience for all small children.

Can learning be fun? Yes, especially if you use Jane E. Ruth’s book Nite Nite, Puppies to teach your children how dogs are different and the same. Another neat thing about this book is she wrote it in both English and Spanish. This also helps children understand that people may speak different languages, but they are still humans. It is good to teach your child to accept differences as well as to recognize sameness. Just like Jack Russells and Golden Retrievers are different, people have differences in skin color, skills, and abilities. We need to accept all and realize we are more alike than different. The illustrations are great, and Jane writes in very simple language that youngsters can understand. Enjoy reading this book to and with your young child.”

“Nite Nite, Kitty Cats is a children’s picture book in English and Spanish by Jane E. Ruth. A grandmother reads a bedtime story to her two granddaughters as she sits in bed with them. Every turn of the page is dedicated to a different cat. Their features are described, and the felines are shown sleeping, playing, and sitting contentedly. On one page, each cat’s characteristics are outlined, and on the opposite page, the cat stares at the reader or sleeps peacefully. Balls of yarn and toy fish sometimes adorn the pages alongside ten different cats. At the end of the story, the author provides the breed of each cat, from Birman to Tonkinese, in Spanish and English.

Jane E. Ruth’s book has English and Spanish on the same page, helping young readers understand and interpret the words as they read. Yassy Duque’s illustrations are vibrant and show the tranquility of the sleepy kittens, making theJm so cute that readers may feel like they could almost jump out of the pages. The information at the end of the story can start educational conversations. The material after the story helps readers understand concepts they may not have investigated. I read the book to my daughter, and we were curious about the Ragdoll breed. After finishing the story, we spent an hour looking at different breeds of cats, deepening our knowledge of the subject. This book is a soothing story for the end of the day, full of cuddly friends children will love. Readers who enjoy books about animals or cute cats will want to read Nite Nite, Kitty Cats at every storytime.”
