This is such a cool series, that I would have loved to have when I was a kid, or even when my daughter was a kid. I love the way this, and the others in the series, link the child's actions to those of their favorite super hero, in this case, Supergirl.

This is a bedtime book, but it goes over all the important things you must do to go to bed, and rest up for another day, just the way that Supergirl does.

I'm sure this is fun for kids to read, or have read to them, and even parents won't mind it.

Recommended for home libraries, as another arsenal in the books to read to go to sleep to.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Sweet Dreams, Supergirl is another installment in Michael Dahl's superhero picture book series. I love the series and this one is no exception. This time we have a female protagonist and superhero and we see a split screen type spread of each of them going about their day and winding down at the end of the day. There is a nice message included about continuing to be brave even after the day is over which little ones with a fear of the dark will find helpful. Overall this is a well illustrated, well written and fun picture book that Super Hero lovers of all ages will enjoy.

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Cute book about getting ready to sleep. As with the other books in the series, I really enjoyed the illustrations. Loved the parallels between Supergirl and the main character.

I'll admit, I enjoyed [b: Be a Star, Wonder Woman!|34139162|Be a Star, Wonder Woman!|Michael Dahl|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1490200090s/34139162.jpg|55176486] and [b: Bedtime for Batman|29058898|Bedtime for Batman|Michael Dahl|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1458252320s/29058898.jpg|49288427] a little more than this one, but this was still a fun read. I feel like the setup was a little different. This one was more about the little girl going to sleep whereas the other ones were nicely set up as a list of things to do before bed or for getting read in the morning.

This book does include a Sweet Dreams Checklist at the end, including items such as "share stories" and "breathe easy".

Good book that pairs well with the others in the series. I still have to get my hands on [b: Good Morning, Superman|31311458|Good Morning, Superman!|Michael Dahl|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1470086140s/31311458.jpg|51983715].

I love Sweet Dreams, Supergirl!

I wish my daughter was still young enough for me to read this to her every night. I don‰ЫЄt know what else to say but that it is completely adorable.

I might read it to myself every night before I go to bed.

(And I love that Streaky the Supercat makes an appearance and the little girl has a Streaky the Supercat toy!)

Thanks to NetGalley and Capstone for a copy in return for an honest review.

This one is the same format as Dahl's other superhero books, with a spread of a kid doing something ordinary that might be hard for them and an inset of a superhero (drawn in comic book style) saving the day somehow. While the story in this one isn't as strong as the others, it's still a great way to start a discussion about bravery, the need for rest and recharge, or to introduce Supergirl as a hero.

I love these books. I can not get enough. The book shows a child doing all the same things a superhero does. In this case, our little girl is getting ready to sleep and to dream, just like Supergirl does. Not only is the story done well, and the illustrations spot on, the team behind these titles tries to be inclusive of all people. You do not see the same kid in each book. So far we have had Batman, Wonder woman, Superman, and now Supergirl. Who’s next. I’m ready!

I received an e-copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this was a super cute kids book. Geared towards young girls, it compares Supergirl to a little girl getting ready for bed. The illustrations are really nicely done, and I think its great for young girls, especially if they already like superheroes/Supergirl.
