Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Beloved children's book by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd
Amazon.com Review:
Perhaps the perfect children's bedtime book, Goodnight Moon is a short poem of goodnight wishes from a young rabbit preparing for--or attempting to postpone--his own slumber. He says goodnight to every object in sight and within earshot, including the 'quiet old lady whispering hush.' Clement Hurd's illustrations are simple and effective, alternating between small ink drawings and wide, brightly colored views of the little rabbit's room.
Finding all of the items mentioned throughout the book within the pictures is a good bedtime activity--a reappearing little mouse is particularly pesky. By the end of the little rabbit's goodnight poem, the story has quieted to a whisper, and the drawings have darkened with nightfall. As you turn the last page, you can expect a sleepy smile and at least a yawn or two. (Picture book)

I bought this book for my daughter - in paperback, hardback, coloring book, etc.! This was her all-time favorite book growing up and now I'm buying it for her newborn son! That makes me really think this is a book "for generations".

I guess I wa s a deprived child. I did not read this book until I was an adult, but even now I can see why it is such an enduring classic. There is something so simple and sweet about this closure to the day.

I can't imagine missing this book in my daughter's library. It's hard to believe that it was written 60 years ago, but that's what classic children stories should look like. My toddler loves it, and so do we. It's interesting that we didn't read a book for a couple of months, then returned to it and realized that she actually remembers it very well and is able to supply the subsequent word in the story. It's not as entertaining as her other bedtime selections, but it's very calming and I think that this book will have a long lasting life in our library.

Goodnight Moon is a delightful book and a wonderful addition to any child's book collection. As a little girl, it was mine and my sister's favorite book. Having just announced her pregnancy to the family, we've all commented that Goodnight Moon will surely be read to my sister's little one often. In fact, the baby will probably end up with more than one copy!
The rhythmic text detailing a nightly routine reassures little ones as they prepare for slumber that all is well. Read before bedtime, the simplistic nature of the book enables even very young children to remember the story and relate to the little bunny's experience. Goodnight Moon helps children realize that bedtime is normal and routine and nothing to be anxious about. I remember saying goodnight to some of my toys and knowing then that it was ok to fall asleep. It's just a wonderful book that I highly recommend.

This book has a cadence and rythym that my daughter found very comforting. It was her favorite book as a toddler - the one she wanted read every single night. I read it to her so many times, I no longer looked at the pages - I just recited them from memory as she sat in my lap and turned each page.
That time is gone now (my daughter is 16), but she still remembers the time sitting in my lap and the reading of this book - over and over and over... Much later we graduated to the Harry Potter series (I read the very first 4 to her, then she go too impatient to wait as each new one came out) but Goodnight Moon was our very first shared literary experience - and for that precious time, I say this truly is an awesome book.
