This short children's book was my night time lullaby for many years. The sweet rhyme schemes and flowing rhythm of Goodnight Moon would shuttling me into a soundless sleep. Just hearing the title makes me relax and feel safe. My reasoning for a perfect five star rating was that, the end rhyme is creative and flows perfectly off the tongue. The illustrations are quaint, and calming. But among all else, I love the mouse that finds its way onto ever page, as a kindergartener I would play with my family a game we made up with the book, "who could find the small mouse first." Even at that age I memorized where the mouse was on every page and I would win the contest with my family every time. I will treasure this book forever and I plan on reading Goodnight Moon to my children. |

In our family Goodnight Moon has become a "read-every-night book." As the bunny calmly says goodnight to everything inside and outside the window, our children seem to feel a comforting sense of predictability, security and peace as they wind down for sleep. Part of our current bedtime ritual also includes pointing out the mouse in each color illustration. My husband and I enjoy reading picture books with our two sons, ages 2 and 4. Many are simply for pure fun and enjoyment together. However, we have also found that some books serve as a wonderful opportunity for us to continue teaching a lesson about our family rules and values. For example, we can calmly revisit a situation with our boys by reading a picture book, away from the heat of the moment of their occasional, embarrassing, angry behavior by reading "Elbert's Bad Word" or "How Are You Peeling." When we find ourselves searching for the appropriate words to use, we discovered that a book can often get the point or lesson across to a young child in just the right way. Sometimes, the text or pictures encourages our children to ask questions or make comments, thereby giving us a clearer sense of their understanding. Then we can focus further discussion as needed. We found a great little book with an awesome annotated listing of over 100 excellent picture books to read with a 2, 3, 4, or 5-year-old called "The Pocket Parent". This quick read parenting guide addresses many hot-button issues we have experienced with our toddlers-such as Bedtime, Bad Words, Morning Crazies, Thumb sucking, Tantrums, Whining and more. Reading appropriate books, like Goodnight Moon, is definitely one effective way that helps me establish comforting routines with my children while keeping lines of communication open to discuss concerns and solve problems together when needed. |

At the risk of sounding redundant, Goodnight Moon succeeds in entrancing every toddler (and every toddler's parent) who sees and hears it. Unlike many other books suitable for children at an early linguistic level, Goodnight Moon manages to capture both adult and child in its charms. The repetitive structure never bores, as it constantly surprises with its rhymes and subjects (I still laugh at the blank page where it goes "Goodnight nobody"). My daughter is now three, and she isn't quite as excited by the book as she was when she started hearing it at one, and when she insisted on it every night when she was two, but she still likes to take it out every once in awhile. I still love Goodnight Moon, however, and look forward to reading it to my next child, and to my grandchildren. I only wish my mother had known about this book when I was a child! |

This book deals with nearly everything in a child's room and house, and page-by-page; it says "Goodnight" to real items as well as some that had their birth in fairy tales. It says "Goodnight" to these items, ending with "Goodnight noises everywhere." All of this is from the perspective of a rabbit in bed that children seem to "know" represents them. I cannot add much to the existing posts, but I think I understand why the mother of 23-month old twins "just does not get it." Twins have a very close sibling to share scary sounds like things that go bump in the night, while most children do not. This little book is very rugged, so you do not have anything to worry about if your child plays with it. I rate this book five stars, and I believe that it will remain popular as long as hardback books survive. The back of the book reads, "This classic bedtime story, which has lulled generations of children to sleep, is the perfect first book to share with a child." That, it is. |

This was one of our family favorites. This is the board book for infants so it can be chewed and loved. Get the real book for Toddlers so it can be saved. We have ours from 35 years ago and were able to pass it on to our grandchildren. An award winning story with a lovely calming effect. Your child will learn the story quickly and be saying goodnight to everything in his room and forget he didn't want to go to bed. |

My mom used to read this book to me all the time when I was little. It was my all time favorite book. And to this day, I still remember it. I occasionally pick it up when I am in the bookstore just to take me back. Every child should have this book! |

Our 20-month-old twins love this book. They have piles of books but demand that we read this one every night - sometimes multiple times. I can understand that some kids just don't like some things but some of the negative reviews (a small minority) are just bizarre. For example, it's creepy that the old lady disappears? Um, how about she sat up with her grandchild until he fell asleep, then continued her knitting in another room? What did immediately strike me about the book (it was not part of my childhood so I had never seen it before) was how big and well-appointed the bunny's room is! How many little children had phones next to their bed in 1947? I wonder if kids ever ask if the bunny is rich. In any event, based on how much our kids love this book (our hardback copy is slowly getting destroyed), it is well deserving of five stars. |

This is the best children's bedtime book because it is so clever at "tricking" your mind into believing it is time for bed. It has one beautiful color illustration of a bedroom that is repeated every other page. As the story progresses, the very colorful and bright room slowly gets darker and darker until it is definitely nighttime. In between the color illustrations are black, grey and white imagines, I imagine a take on how things start to look in the dark. It's a marvelous concept and does a great job at making you feel that night has slowly come upon you. I loved this book growing up and my son is absolutely memorized at the images every time we read it to him. It really does help to put him in a sleep-mode before bed. I can't recommend it higher! |

This book was my son's favorite story. We read it every night until we had every word memorize. When I was a pre-school teacher, I would read it to them. Children love this story. They would learn the words for different items in their own rooms. They love how the words rhyme and usually finish the sentence. The tape is wonderful. One side tells the story so your child can "read" along. The other side is soft soothing music that will put any child, (and Adult) to sleep. I have loved this book for years and have bought this set before. It is one of my favorites, my son's favorite and my 4 yr old class favorite. |

Margaret Wise Brown has written many books adored by readers of all ages. From a teacher's perspective I would recommend this book to every parent out there. The book has a pattern and cadence that will support your child's reading fluency. Pattern books are always encouraged for the beginning reader. Moreover, the book reflects how the world is seen through the eyes of an innocent child (in this case, a bunny). For example, how many of our young children have made that connection with inanimate objects as if they were filled with life? I would also recommend you buy Brown's other classic book, The Runaway Bunny; especially if you are a parent. It will surely touch your heart. |
