The corresponding voice of Little Rocket is energetic and full of action words. The voice of the narrator is rhythmic and gentle and certainly reminds one of traditional bed time books. One of the most interesting aspects of the book is that there are really two stories running consecutively. The illustrations by Cale Atkinson are bright and dynamic and will keep children engaged in the story. Night, Night, Groot by Brendan Deenan is a wonderful way for parents to share some of their favorite Guardians of the Galaxy characters in an age-appropriate way. Or do they? Perhaps it is just a dream Groot is having… They fight bad guys and fly rocket ships with their grown-up friends Thor, Hulk, and Gamora.

But wait! Little Rocket seems to have other plans! Instead of sleeping, he drags Groot out for another adventure. It’s bedtime in outer space and Little Groot is ready to be tucked into his flowerpot.
