Product Description

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)

 Excellent read! October 14, 2008
For some reason, my child loves this book and it remains a favourite bedtime story book! I like reading it to him since it is soothing.
Goodnight Moon October 14, 2008
This is a very sweet book. I had to read it at least twenty times in the same week to my children. They love it. I highly recommend this book.
 A Classic, but printing quality has disappeared these days October 13, 2008
This book is no doubt a classic and I love it. However, I noticed a significant difference in the print quality of the older version I had checked out from the library and this new edition. There is less detail and the color is not as good. I checked out the library's copy to do some paintings of some of the illustrations as a gift for my nephew, so I noticed the differences right away. Perhaps this is the times we are in, or perhaps there are better quality publications out there, not sure how to find them. It didn't stop me from buying one for my friend though.
Generations October 5, 2008
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 probably should be annoyed by this September 27, 2008
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.
