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)

Author: Guest I have had 2 of the board books in the past five years. We had to replace one, we read it so much.(Although we have it memorized)LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
Author: Guest Good Night Moon is a simple bedtime book that is perfect for sharing with little ones ages six months to three years. It begins by naming various items found in a little bunny's "Great Green Room," and then goes on to say good night to each one of them.
Reading Good Night Moon nightly is not only a lovely bedtime ritual, but also a great way to begin building a vocabulary for a little one. My children also enjoyed looking for the little white mouse in the illustrations. Trying to remember where the mouse was on each page was a great memory booster. I believe that this classic bedtime book should be on the bookshelf of every nursery.
Author: Guest We have been reading this book to our 18 month old daughter almost every night for a couple months. Now every night when we take her to her room she points to the book and says "moon, moon" and until we read it to her.
Author: Guest My 23 Month Old loves this book before he goes to bed. He loves pointing out the cats and the mittens and the moon and the stars and of course the little mouse. We have read this book so many times to him that he reads it to us now!
Great Book!!!
Author: Guest My 27 months old daughter likes this book, specially because she knows most of the objects that are presented in the book. She likes to point it out the object as I tell her the story. Introduces black and white pictures and the concept of "nothing".
