Designed to soothe children before bedtime while instilling an early appreciation for natural and cultural wonders, this delightful story features a multicultural group of people visiting waterfalls, glaciers, alpine lakes, the Rocky Mountains, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Ozark Mountains, the Sierra Nevadas, the Appalachian Mountains, volcanic Mount Saint Helen, and Mount Washington in New England. Guiding children through the passage of both a single day and the four seasons while saluting the iconic aspects of mountains, this board book also highlights the activities associated with such destinations, including skiing, hiking, camping, backpacking, fishing, and rock climbing.

This one though has off-topic diversions and even unsuitable content.
The reference to dogsleds should not be in a book about mountains. Anyone who is familiar with dogsledding or even read about it, knows it occurs on fairly flat regions, not mountains, not even along mountain streams.
References to rock climbing in the Sierras instead of just rock climbing, biking in the Blue Ridge mountains and not just mountains, hiking the Appalachian Trail instead of just the trails, camping in the Smoky Mountains and not other mountains. These specific human places detract from the story and require the reader to stop and explain to the child that yes, you can camp in other mountains and that yes, rock climbing is also very popular in other places like Yosemite., and no, there is little to no dog sledding in the mountains.
Also, the author diverged from the goodnight series theme of goodnight. There are a lot more sentences starting with "Hello" and "Good Morning".
What's this about observatories? Sure mountains are common sites for the few major observatories but observatories are not common to mountains. Go out and look at a random mountain. See the observatory? There are plenty of common elements in mountains to not need to stretch for rare things, things you cannot see outside your tent, cabin, or lodge with the kids.
The illustrations are well done.
I will find a better bedtime book about just mountains in general so I will not have to explain all these irrelevant references to specific places my grandkids will not recognize. ( )
