Rating:  Summary: Timeless classic - pleasing to mom and baby Review: This is a great book - my baby loves having it read to him, and will amuse himself for minutes at a time (a big accomplishment, believe me) flipping through it on his own, too. The pictures are clever and full of detail for discussion, and the words are simple with a pleasing rhythm. This is one of the few books I don't mind reading over and over -- a good thing, since it's one the baby asks for repeatedly!
Rating:  Summary: It was okay, I guess. Review: Can't say that either my 16-month old daughter or I were ever that keen on this book. The pictures never caught my daughter's eye and there are other books with much better rhymes. I got a much better reaction from my daughter with books by Eric Caryle, Dr. Seuss, Sandra Boynton, Richard Scarry, and Karen Katz. She often comes to me carrying a book by one of these other authors so I could read it to her, but she's never voluntarily picked up this one.
Rating:  Summary: My 4 month old loves it! Review: I didn't believe a small baby would like to "read", but my 4 month old prooves me wrong. Everytime I open this book and start to read out loud for her, she laughs and makes all kind of cute noises.
Rating:  Summary: Find the mouse? Review: I have been reading this book to my son since he was born (he's 18 months now) and we love it. Now that he's a little older, we find the mouse on each of the room pages...it's in a different place every time! It's a must-have for every child's library
Rating:  Summary: A must have Review: This book is a must have for anyone with children. Its a nice soothing story that you won't tire of. My daughters love this book now they have to say "goodnight" to everything in their room.
Rating:  Summary: THERE'S NOT A BETTER BEDTIME STORY Review: She doesn't look a day over four but Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon is celebrating her 50th! A serendipitous 1947 pairing of the author and illustrator, Clement Hurd, has left a generation spanning legacy. Hurd's warm homey drawings of familiar objects and the soothing words of the bunny child have lulled many a youngster to sleep. The hardcover anniversary edition of Goodnight Moon includes a photo illustrated retrospective by Leonard Marcus. In addition, Goodnight Moon Bedtime Box holds the board book and a soft bunny, while the original version is available in single hardcover, paperback and board book editions. Ages 2 - 6.
Rating:  Summary: "BOARD BOOK STATUS" perfect for our Little Bunny! Review: It is difficult, indeed, to find high quality books for young children these days. GOODNIGHT, MOON has rightfully earned its "classic" status, and the availabity of this book in board format is an added benefit. Eager, little hands are known for crumpling the pages of their favorite books. Enter the board book -- voila! Your two-year-old's chubby fingers can turn the pages with ease! And so it should be with this timeless, sweet, and sensitive book about a little bunny who needs to say good-night to everyone and everything in his bedroom before finally going to sleep. The perfect bedtime story is now available in the perfect format -- nearly indestructible pages (unless, of course, your child is prone to dropping things in the toilet) that will outlast his toddler years. Hip, hip, hooray for GOODNIGHT, MOON as a board book! ---- Jill Schafer Boehme, Author of MY LIMA BEANS ARE ALLERGIC TO MY SPOON and Editor of MOMMY! The Internet Lifeline for At-home Moms (a free Ezine)
Rating:  Summary: 1-year-old's favorite book Review: My daughter sits and pages through this board book by herself every day, and will put it on my hand so that I will read it to her. She loves this book. Other favorites: Runaway Bunny, Big Red Barn and Moo, Baa, La La La.
Rating:  Summary: Great Book Review: I loved this book as a child aand I would reccommend it to any mother or soon-to-be mom. It's sure your child will love it!
Rating:  Summary: Classic memories Review: I believe this is a classic book to read that is great for children of all ages. I have fond memories of this book as my mother would read me this book.
