Residents of Bug Hotel prepare for bed. A perky ladybug named Dot peers directly at readers from the title page and announces she’s “checking to see who is ready for bed,” adding, “are you?” The initial page turn reveals a deliciously detailed, double-page cross section of Bug Hotel, with guests in their respective rooms engaged in evening activities as Dot arrives at the reception desk in time to “make sure all the other bugs are getting ready for bed.” Poised with her pencil and clipboard, Dot first visits Dung Beetle and joins him in a bedtime bath. Next, she finds Stick Bug selecting pajamas and chooses a polka-dot set for herself. As Fly prepares for tooth-brushing, Dot decides to do likewise. “Pill Bug is on the toilet” when Dot arrives (trailing some toilet paper), prompting her to observe “it’s always a good idea to pee before bed” to guarantee a “dry night.” Dot’s last stop is the room of Bookworm, who is of course reading before bedtime. Dot peruses a picture book. Before heading to bed, Dot reviews her bedtime checklist, but the bugs remind her there’s one last thing to do. The bold, colorful, detail-rich illustrations with their nighttime atmosphere and amusing crawly critters involved in their bedtime routines, the reassuring, repetitive “good night, sleep tight” refrain, and the generous physical format ensure rapt reader participation. A delightful guide to a perfect bedtime prep.

– Kirkus Reviews

A gazillion wee details fill this cheery and absorbing picture book about bedtime in a bug hotel. As bedtime storybooks go, the pattern in Good Night, Sleep Tight is comfortingly familiar: a narrator goes through a series of steps before tucking in for the night. The magic here is in the details. Ladybug Dot carries a clipboard from room to room, making sure everyone is on target for bedtime. Has Dung Beetle taken his bath? Check. Stick Bug donned her pajamas? Check. Fly brushed teeth? Check. Dutch illustrator Esther van den Berg, who previously illustrated Such a Library!: A Yiddish Folktale Re-imagined, has a bold and droll artistic style that features bright colors and figures with exaggerated attributes. Readers may want to linger in each guest's room, finding something new and sometimes giggle-worthy with repeated viewings of the digital illustrations. Fly has a framed print of a steaming pile of poop with a couple of flies (relatives, perhaps?) hovering above. Boots rest on a leaf doormat. Dung Beetle's bathtub is a teacup. There's more scatological humor in the bathroom where Pill Bug and Dot pee before bed. A child's illustration of a bearded pirate in a pink dress adorns Bookworm's walls, where Dot looks at books on Bookworm's sardine-can bed. A sweet surprise--one final thing to check off the list before they all go to sleep--brings this fun book to a satisfying close, even if the Dutch-born author missed the opportunity to end with "Good night, sleep tight... don't let the bedbugs bite!"
