Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for the ARC! The illustrations are beautiful! I love the bright yellow and soft green colors on the pages. It's a quick and easy read especially for new parents. The use of the word caramel is unclear to me. I would have liked to have seen it end with wording like "baby sleeps tonight." It ends with naming the color white and shows illustrations of the baby sleeping. It would have been nice to have words to go along with the picture and have an end to the story. Overall, I think it's a great children's book. The child would be able to describe what is happening in the pictures as the adult is reading it.

Atmospheric and gorgeously illustrated, this is sure to be a bedtime hit! Such a dreamy way to evoke all the warmest feelings of carefree summer nights.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Bright Lights and Summer Nights is a beautiful picture book that is sure to capture readers' attention with its atmospheric illustrations and repetitive text. I've loved all of the books Manbeck has illustrated, and this is no exception. Thank you to Tundra Books and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for the honest review.
