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)

 so small November 19, 2008
Didn't realize this was a mini-version of the book till I received it. It's about the size of an adult's hand (fingertip to palm). Doesn't make the best gift.
 Goodnight Moon November 17, 2008
This is one of the all time favorites to add to your children's library. It is an especially great selection to read to children at bedtime. A wonderful selection for children having difficulty going to sleep at night.
I have always loved this book! November 4, 2008
The Christmas Edition
This was a bedtime favorite of my children. Now our oldest is about to have her own child (its a boy). So I bought a parcel of books for the baby. When Kimberly saw this book, tears sprang in her eyes remembering me reading this to her while she sat on my lap. In a few more months someone new will be in her arms on her lap, and she will be reading this book to him.
Most memorable book November 3, 2008
My Mom and Dad used to read this to me every night growing up and I bought it for my God daughter because it is one of the most memorable books from my childhood.
Such a great children's book. Should be a part of every child's bedtime story time
 Good children's book November 3, 2008
I've only read this book a couple of times to my young son, but plan to read more once he gets older. The book is very simple and more of a short story. If you wanted to make it a litte longer for your child then you could point things out in the story like, "See the bunny" to make it longer. I really like the book though and I'm excited to use it as a bed time story. It is a recommended book after all.
