After a full day of dirt bikes, family, friends, and motocross fun, it's time for Ryder to slow down and say goodnight.
In Good Night, Ryder, young readers follow Ryder as race day comes to an end and the motocross track begins to grow quiet.
One by one, Ryder says goodnight to the things that made his day special—his helmet, goggles, riding gear, boots, dirt bike, race number, start gate, jumps, whoops, toolbox, trailer, trophies, family, friends, and more.
As the sun goes down and the stars come out, Ryder settles in for the night.
Race day may be over, but when Ryder closes his eyes, another motocross adventure is only a dream away.
For little riders who spend their days thinking about dirt bikes, even bedtime can have a little motocross in it.
Good Night, Ryder combines familiar moments from a day at the track with the gentle rhythm of a children's bedtime story.
Instead of leaving motocross behind when it's time for bed, young readers get to wind down alongside Ryder as he says goodnight to everything from his riding gear and dirt bike to the track, his friends, and his family.
The story gives motocross families a fun way to bring something their children already love into their nightly reading routine.
Race days are filled with sounds, excitement, family, friends, bikes, gear, and memories.
But eventually, even motocross riders need some rest.
Throughout Good Night, Ryder, children get to say goodnight alongside Ryder to familiar parts of motocross and race day, including:
As each part of race day settles down for the night, Ryder does too.
Motocross can be loud, fast, and exciting.
Bedtime is just the opposite.
Good Night, Ryder brings those two worlds together through gentle rhymes and colorful motocross scenes designed for young children.
Ryder's day may have been filled with dirt bikes, racing, and the sounds of VROOM and ZOOM, but as nighttime arrives, everything becomes quiet.
The bikes are parked.
The riding gear is put away.
The track is empty.
And Ryder is ready to dream about riding again tomorrow.
Recommended for ages 2–6, Good Night, Ryder is designed especially for little dirt bike fans and young children growing up around motocross.
It's a fun choice for:
Whether a child already rides or simply loves watching dirt bikes, Good Night, Ryder brings the excitement of motocross into a warm and familiar bedtime routine.
At the heart of Good Night, Ryder is something familiar to many motocross families—the memories created together at the track.
The bikes and racing may be exciting, but Ryder's day is also filled with family, friends, teamwork, and time spent doing something he loves.
The story helps young readers transition from an exciting day into bedtime while celebrating the people and experiences that make race days special.
It's a reminder that sometimes the best part of an adventure isn't just the race.
It's who you shared it with.
Good Night, Ryder is the fourth story in the Nelmgerian MX Children's Series.
Ryder's adventures began with his first dirt bike and first motocross race. Along the way, he met Pepper, made new friends, shared his love of riding with Wheelie, and learned important lessons both on and off the track.
Now Ryder's latest adventure introduces younger readers to a quieter side of motocross.
Because even after the engines stop and the track grows quiet, there's always another adventure waiting tomorrow.
