Summary: adorable and gentle
Review: This author is one of my favorites. Her books are gentle and loving and sweet. This is one of my favorite books. It is a reminder that everything is there and everything has a place and it's time for bed and everything is ok. Playing find the mouse and each page helps your child develop spatial skills, memory skills and eye and hand coordination as he/she points to the mouse. It is not a long book and that makes it easy to read over and over again. The pictures are gentle and sweet and only enhance the text. Enjoy.

Summary: This is our 2 year old's favorite book.
Review: Our 2 year old son just loves this book. He asks us to read it to him every night, often multiple times. The book has a wonderful rhythm to it, and the illustrations are bright and captivating. I look forward to the time when my little one comes running, shouting "moon, moon"! This is a must have, and my family will cherish it forever.

Summary: The First Book In Your New Arrival's Library!
Review: If I could, every new family would get this book to go home w/ them for their baby's library - and it whatever language they wished. No matter what translation, the theme of the book is a wonderfully soothing way to end the day. Snuggle up to your little one, lower the lights and enjoy. Don't forget to play "where's the mouse?" on each of the color illustrated pages. This builds recognition, spacial and cognative skills in early readers! It's never to young to start reading to your children and you can never read to them too much!

Summary: A little weird at first but now it is a ritual.
Review: First time I read this to my son I thought it was a little weird, colored pages then black and white pages, etc. I guess that was educational for him though. I read this to him every night before he falls asleep. He now kisses the baby bunny night night and he is starting to put his finger to his mouth (mostly to my mouth) when I get to, "...the quiet old lady whispering hush". He likes the rhyming and the predictability. It is now ritual and a classic. I'd get it for a friend's baby!

Summary: Moons don't sleep!
Review: When I first read this, I was a little confused, but then I realized that the BUNNY is going to sleep, not the moon. That changed things to the point where I would definitely consider this among my Top 16 favorite books of all-time. I would recommend the pop-up version, though. The mechanics of the red balloon garner sheer delight! So all in all, I think children will get a big kick out the rhyming (perfect meter, and effective use of repitition), and that the concepts of sleep and primary colors will grow on them more and more with each read. As long as he or she goes into the book knowing that moons don't sleep, I think this is an educational tool alerting children to the benefits of sleep indulgence.

Summary: A Wonderful Bedtime Book
Review: "Goodnight Moon" is the book my nephews always ask for before they go to bed, and I don't blame them. A soothing rhythm and quiet, sleepy illustrations make this the perfect bedtime story for little ones. It's amazing how simple the story seems, yet it works like a charm: by the end, my nephews are heavy-lidded and peaceful. This book has been in my family for a long time; my mother read it to me, and my sisters now read it to their children. If I have kids of my own someday, "Goodnight Moon" is the first story I plan on reading to them.

Summary: SPECIAL LULLABY RHYMING BEDTIME STORY
Review: This is one of my daughter's favorite books. She will be four soon and still loves this book! She enjoys the rhymes and bright, bold colors--and the bunny. I think what makes this book so special, among many things, is that it's short, full of contrasting, bright colors, and the fact that "Mommy" is reading it. I cuddle up with her and have the lights dimmed and she's dressed and ready for bed with her favorite blanket, relaxed and ready to look and listen. The part after, "Goodnight comb, And goodnight brush," where it next says, "Goodnight nobody," I have placed a baby picture of my daughter and we say together, "Goodnight________,"(her name.) She enjoys seeing herself in the book and I think it's great for her to basically tell herself to go to sleep! The last full-page spread (which by the way, every colored page is a full-page spread) is particularly pleasant; the lights are dimmed in the baby bunny's room, he's in in his pajamas in his bed under the covers and the only things that are dominant and glowing are the moon and night stars, the fire in the fireplace, and the toyhouse's lights. Looking at that, what else would a child want to do but follow the bunny's lead and go to sleep? Goodnight Moon! (Big yawn...) Suggestion: If your child doesn't want to let you leave after reading the book, you can make up your own "Goodnight ROOM" story and help him/her say goodnight to objects in his/her room. This in addition to the book, should do the trick!

Summary: Great night time book!
Review: My 18 month old daughter loves this book. We read various books every night, and then I read her Goodnight Moon when we are all done. She knows it's her "night night" book. I recommend to every parent. Excellent in establishing a night time routine.

Summary: The Best Bedtime Book
Review: There are relatively few words per page, but lots to look at "In the great, green room...". This book seems to have a calming effect on kids and is just perfect for reading at bedtime. It's the classic story that your mom probably read you when you were a kid. I'm glad they haven't updated it a bit.
