Summary: Goodnight Moon
Review: This was one of the first books I ever read to my child. I strated reading it to him since the day he was born. He is 2 years old now and he got the whole story memorized. The story, the pictures and everything about the book is wonderful. I recommended it for every child. It's a keepsake.

Summary: A little rabbit goes to bed but is not at all tired...
Review: Generation after generation of children who have not wanted to go to sleep at night when told it was their bedtime have found an endearing manifesto of not being sleepy in "Goodnight Moon." Margaret Wise Brown poetry keeps things as simple as Clement Hurd's illustrations, which show a little rabbit who insists on saying "Goodnight" to pretty much every single object in the bedroom (including the old lady whispering "hush"). Eventually the little rabbit runs out of things to say "Goodnight" to and falls asleep. But we know that this scene will be repeated the next night and the night after that, when your child demands that you read this timeless children's classic from 1947 to them over and over again. There are certain books that every child should have in their library and if "Goodnight Moon" is not at the top of that list it has to be very close to the top for over half a century. Before this decade is up I am sure I will pass it on to a third generation of my family. How many generations is your family up to?

Summary: Utter Security
Review: Some books become experiences in themselves, and as any parent who cherishes this book can tell you, "Goodnight Moon" is one of those books.The lush illustrations, full of detail and delight, give us a good view of the bunny's room as he gets ready to say goodnight and go to sleep. At the beginning of the story, his room is still light. Bunny is protracting the bedtime like any self-respecting toddler--in his case, he is saying "goodnight" to every single object in his room. My children and I read this in a cadence that became part of the book. They chanted it along with me, and never tired of finding the elusive mouse, whose whereabouts change from page to page. We all said goodnight to everything in the room together--the comb and the brush and the bowl of mush were huge favorites. Finally, the room darkens, the bunny's eyes start to close, and hopefully, one's own children are in the same condition. I love this book, as do my children, and hopefully when the time comes, their children will as well.

Summary: harold is my hero
Review: i could write a thesis about this book, but i won't. whether you have children or not, you need to have this book. read it a lot - every day if you have to, until you understand the power that is held between the covers. harold is a great little person with a lot to offer. this book (seriously) changed my life, and it will change yours too.

Summary: A "must have" soothing "going to bed" book for early readers
Review: Summary:
An older book (about 50+ years), that is entertaining for young children, with a cute "rabbit" main character. It lets children know that when they go to bed at night, they safely go to sleep with their "friends" (inanimate objects) around them making "sleepy-time" a time of warm and simple magic. Educational Summary:
Simple soothing words, good rhythms, a few primary colors, simple story, simple and common objects. Story:
A rabbit goes to bed and says goodnight to all the objects he sees in his room (mittens, mouse, clock, etc.), and outside his window (moon). Negatives:
First, kids really love this book, so my negative may not really be important. But, the book is not really very colorful, and the story seems a bit slow. But, my kids really liked to have it read to them and never seemed to tire of it. So, what do I know?!

Summary: A Great Bedtime Story for any Young Child
Review: By far, my 16-month old son's favorite book. My wife and I read to our son every night and he almost always picks this book for us to read to him. With its great narrative and colorful illustrations, this book should be on the shelf of any home with small children.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I gave this book 5 stars because I love it. This book is a must have. I think that when people talk about a good bedtime story this is what they mean. This book will let kids think about the things that arent important and let them excape from their everyday happenings.

Summary: Wonderful Story!
Review: This book is the best childrens book I have ever read! As a kid i absolutly loved it! I loved the way the pictures were so cheerful and bright, but yet some are very calm and make you very relaxed. I would reccomend this book to any mother with young children anywhere from ages 3 through 10, even not in my teen years I still find this book very interesting and when I am a mother I will definitly read this to my child.

Summary: Why can't all baby books be this good?!
Review: This is a classic book for the under 1 crowd. It is very lyrical and enjoyable for the adult to read. I don't understand why all books in this genre aren't this good.

Summary: A musthave for your toddler's library.
Review: This is a wonderful book. My mother bought this book last Christmas for my almost 2 year old and it is his favorite book. We have to read it all the time. He is starting to tell us the story. We take forever to read because we have to point out everything in the pictures and discuss what they are. This is the only book he'll sit through from beginning to end and over and over again. This is a must have book for toddlers.
