Perfect size for babies. But wish there was more people in this book. What a wonderful collection of so many inspiring women! A very short introduction to several inspirational women. With bright illustrations and easy to understand words, it would be a great book to read to little ones.

Thank you Netgalley and Rebel Girls for an advanced copy of this book in exchange of my honest opinion.

I love that Rebel Girls came up with the fantastic idea of publishing the first Baby Book of their series!

It contains just the right amount the information to know what these amazing, great and brave women did and how their acts changed the world we live in!

The illustrations are bright, fun and stunning! And I am very happy to see current heroines like Simon Biles and Malala as well as all time known warriors like Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman.

This new book will, definitely, be a total success!

This is a collection of extraordinary women in history in a simple format for babies and toddlers. It is powerful to see the collection of women portrayed to demonstrate that no matter what difference you choose to make you can be extraordinary as well.

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: Baby’s First Book of Extraordinary Women by Rebel girls is a wonderful installment into the Rebel girls series. It’s for an even younger audience than Climate Warriors and Mean Business, but no less inspirational.

The art was, as usual, both varied, unique, and colorful. This book delves into the histories of multiple amazing women throughout history, who did amazing things and deserve so much more credit than they get.

This is a wonderful book filled with glorious women and their adventures, it covers Cleopatra, Rosa Parks, Jane Goodall, Marie Curie, Harriet Tubman, Joan Jett, Amelia Earhart, Jane Austen, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and many more influential women that have helped shape and change our worlds history. These women are some of the most notable women for standing up (literally) and doing what they wanted when they were told they couldn’t do something. This is an inspirational book for any young girl to read and know that she can choose her path in life, and even if there are others saying she’ll never make it she will, and she’ll be an inspiration to so many other women.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an e-book in exchange for my honest review.

I had seen Rebel Girls books around pretty often, but this is actually the first one I've read. I am honestly so glad we were approved to receive this ARC because it is such a great book to read to a baby. This book details the many accomplishments of truly extraordinary women from both the past and present. It provides a wonderful foundation for babies to know and believe they can accomplish beautiful and amazing things because of the women who came before them.

A very short introduction to several inspirational women. With bright illustrations and easy to understand words, it would be a great book to read to little ones. For slightly older readers, I hope it will prompt them to have discussions or find out more about some of their favourite women mentioned here.

Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for providing me an ARC in exchange of honest opinion.

I absolutely adore this one! Since the book is meant for very young readers, the descriptions are short, usually 2-3 sentences and written in simple language. Naturally, it doesn't answer a lot of questions, so if you have curious kids, be prepared. Or you might search the answers together. Sounds like fun time. The illustrations are eye catching as usual with colorful, cute portraits. It includes a diverse group of courageous women from Amelia Earhart to Cleopatra to Malala Yousafzai and covers a lot of sectors like gymnastics, music, literature etc. I squeed with delight when I saw Jane Austen and Marie Curie, two of my most favorite humans, who have contributed so much in this mortal world. A highly resourceful book to introduce kids to their future female idols. Definitely recommended.

So cute! I love these books, it's a fantastic introduction to the series. I've read the books to my daughter since she was four, but this is beautiful for babies. A wonderful addition to an already fantastic series.

A rebel girls book for the littlest girls (and boys)

This board book introduces kids to inspiring women from all over the world. I loved the women that were selected. The detailed illustrations and short texts introduce each of them, and will surely make kids curious about the world. A very inspirational board book for girls and boys.

Title: Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: Baby's First Book of Extraordinary Women
by Rebel Girls
Pub Date: 12 Jul 2022 | Archive Date Not set
Genre: Children's Nonfiction
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4586293621


This Baby's First Book edition of Rebel Girls gives parents the chance to introduce their child to the amazing work done by woman. We start with Amelia Earheart the first woman to fly across the ocean and end with Simone Biles. Each story showing just what women are capable of.

I found that the bright colours and bold writing were just what a first baby's Rebel Girls book should look like. I think that a school going child could manage to read it themselves.

However I did find parts annoying, for instance the book does not always explaining what the women are. I know that may be difficult for some children to understand but they could ask an adult what those words mean. For instance would the adult reading the book necessarily know that Simone Biles is a gymnast? As someone who doesn't fallow the Olympics and is not American I didn't. The last thing you want to do when reading to a child is take your phone out and google something.

Though I loved the art. I wondered if it would not have been better to make it interactive. Have things move, like Earheart's plane or the car on another page or the spaceship. Whether with pull-y tabs or as pop ups.

What a wonderful book full of diverse examples of women throughout history, breaking barriers! This would be a great book for a young girl OR boy. The illustrations were beautiful and each person was presented with a witty, brief description.

This board book version of Good Night Stories is the perfect addition to any first library. Bright, colourful and informative, it lists a great many wonderful and talented women to introduce to your baby. As informative for parent and baby alike, it's great to see this amazing book in a format for an even younger audience for those oh so important role models and to aspire to achieve such goals.

This is a perfect book to read to young girls! There is a diverse range of women featured (some I have never even heard of which was great) all from different backgrounds, cultures and countries.

The pictures are vivid and colorful to capture young readers attention and the descriptions of each woman is just long enough to keep it interesting.

I loved the message of being a “rebel girl” and not taking no for an answer. This story teaches girls they can do anything they set their minds to. What an enjoyable read!

This book offers a great collection of badass women from history. I even learned about a few that I was not previously familiar with.

The graphics were colorful and engaging. My son enjoyed the bright colors and simple text.

I enjoyed the passage, “And remember, whether you sail or sing, plant seeds or pass laws, always be uniquely you.”

I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to introduce their toddlers to strong, smart, powerful women from the past and present. Women can be anything!

Really loved the idea of this and wasn’t disappointed when I downloaded it to my IPad. The pages are colourful and attractive. The concept is brilliant and I will definitely be buying a hard copy of this for my daughter once it is released. I think it’s a great way of introducing some history and history of string female role models at that. It’s a way to introduce the subject that can then be built on when they are a little bit older with their own research or reading some of the other books in the Rebel Girls series. I will also be buying copies of this for my friends with children too

A great primer of famous women who changed history. I wish some of the text had better rhythm but other than that, loved the book. A great first introduction to rebel girls and a colorful book for littles.
