Nite Nite, Piggies, written by Jane E. Ruth and illustrated by Yassibel Duque, is a children’s book that depicts a group of piglets who resist bedtime with a variety of excuses. Each pig protests by saying they are not ready to sleep, citing reasons like wanting to play, being hungry, or needing a drink of water. Despite their protests, the repetitive “Nite Nite” refrain encourages them to settle in. The book also introduces young readers to different pig breeds through illustrations, promoting awareness of animal diversity. As the story progresses, the piglets are gently guided toward rest, and the book concludes with a prayer, offering a peaceful ending to the bedtime routine. Each line on every page of the story is written in both English and Spanish, adding an educational and inclusive layer to the book as a whole.
Nite Nite, Piggies by Jane E. Ruth is a delightful bedtime read for toddlers. The simple, rhythmic writing is perfect for young listeners, while the repetitive “Nite Nite” phrase creates a calming, predictable flow. As a parent, I couldn’t help but smile at how the piggies’ sudden outbursts of excuses—like being hungry or wanting to play—mirrored the nightly bedtime struggles with my own children. The illustrations are bold and vibrant, keeping little ones engaged and fascinated by the adorable piggies. The humor and charm of the story make it not only relatable but fun. The book’s gentle tone, combined with a sweet prayer at the end, offers a perfect, soothing transition to sleep, making it an ideal choice for bedtime reading. Very highly recommended

This adorable children's book is a true gem, offering a perfect blend of stunning illustrations and vibrant colors. The artwork throughout is captivating, drawing young readers into its lively world with every page.
A key feature is its dual-language immersion, seamlessly presenting both English and Spanish translations. This not only makes the book accessible to bilingual families but also introduces young readers to a new language in a natural, engaging way.
The two main characters are depicted in a way that reflects a rich diversity, providing children with an inclusive view of the world.
The story itself cleverly introduces young readers to the concept of pigs in a fun and toddler-friendly manner, building background knowledge while keeping the tone light and engaging.
Perfect for families seeking to introduce early literacy in both English and Spanish, this book is a wonderful resource for fostering language skills, cultural awareness, and a love for reading. Highly recommended for young children and parents alike!

This book is very cute - especially the art work. It's a very simple book and I love that it is in English and Spanish. A very good tool for someone who is learning both languages in particular.

Well I'm now obsessed with the idea of dual language children's books! What a fun way to incorporate literacy in both languages.
My nieces will love this!
The illustrations are adorable and I love the sweet story about delaying bedtime!

Nite Nite Piggies is a super cute book of little piggies and their excuses of why they don’t want to go to bed. This is super relatable to what a toddler does :) This book held my 2 and 4 year olds attention and they asked to read it again. The illustrations are cute and simple and if you have a child that is in to pigs it shows the different breeds.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced reader copy!

What a sweet book for littles. The story is easy to follow, with beautiful illustrations. The Lingle aspect is wonderful as well. I can easily see my kiddos memorizing this book to “read” back to me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy
I thought this was a heartwarming childrens book with beautiful illustrations. I am sure that I would've loved this book as a child, and without a doubt I would say that if I had a child of my own I would read this book to them. A beautiful story.

Cute and short read. Perfect for my toddler. The piggy illustrations are great. I also love the english/spanish aspect of the book. I laughed a couple times because getting a child into bed will lead to them saying they are hungry, or need water etc. just about anything but to get into bed and sleep.

We follow along as piggie doesn't want to go to bed! This fast read is perfect for farm parents and parents of littles who just love animals! It has a translation on every page and would be great for dual households! I need to order it right now for my piggie obsessed niece!

I think this is a great book for kids who are still in the process of understanding how to use stimulus discrimination among animals while keeping the story lighthearted and fun!

This book was a delight to read!
When children are exposed to multiple languages from an early age is a great way to expand their vocabulary and knowledge of languages and other cultures.
This book has cute illustrations that I know a child as well as their parent would adore!
There’s humour sprinkled in that made my 2 year old son giggle. The book follows pigs that make excuses up to not go to bed. Very lighthearted, educational, and fun to read!
