Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Review: I have read this book to my daughter since she was only a couple weeks old (she's now 17 mos). It is a very easy to read book that we really enjoy to sit together and look at. Leads perfectly into time for bed. It just has a really nice flow to the words.
Rating:  Summary: What is this book's appeal? Review: I feel a little silly to be about the only one who doesn't get this book's appeal. It shows the same pictures over and over again, and every other page is black and white. No appeal whatsoever to my daughter, now age 18 months, who has had this book since birth. People say it's the 'lulling" repeatability of the goodnight theme... I say, it's boring. There are so many bright, lively, board books out there today. I do not recommend this one, classic or not.
Rating:  Summary: One of my favorites when I was younger Review: "Goodnight Moon" was one of my favorite books when I was much younger, and even now is still one of my favorites. The book is somewhat of a poem that a little rabbit recites before he goes to sleep. He says goodnight to everything such as balloons and more, and then says goodnight to the moon. This is a great book for kids 5 yrs. and under.
Rating:  Summary: Goodnight Moon is the Best! Review: I bought this book for my son when he was 6 months old. He loved the rhythm of the words and wonderful pictures. He is two years old now, has memorized it, and reads it to me every night before bed. I wish there were more books like this one!
Rating:  Summary: A lovely first book for any child Review: The lyrical text of "Goodnight Moon" has made it a beloved favorite with my two girls. The simple, colorful illustrations are enchanting and even though I know the entire book by heart, I love sharing it again and again with my children.This is my standard baby gift -- I believe no child should have to go to sleep without hearing the words "in the great green room..."
Rating:  Summary: Sweet 16 Review: This is my daughters favorite book! Every night before she went to bed she would says "Goodnight Mom, Goodnight Moon". I ordered this book in hardback and gave it to her for her 16th birthday. She had tears in her eyes when I gave it to her and although she hadn't said it in a long time, she came up behind me that night and whispered in my ear "Goodnight Mom, Goodnight Moon". She is leaving for college in the fall but has already packed a little comfort from home; her "Goodnight Moon" book.
Rating:  Summary: knowing and being known Review: "Can a woman forget her nursing child And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands" (Isaiah 49:15-16) Beautiful images fill the pages of this book. The balloon on the ceiling, the stars through the window, the fire in the fire place, the old woman in the chair...all of these are shown in the glory of their simple beauty. "Goodnight Moon" is about the simple pleasures of being at home and going to bed among familiar things...more than that, it is about the feeling of being loved--knowing and being known. Get this book. It is great for all ages.
Rating:  Summary: Absolutely Wonderful! Review: My 9 month old son does not sit still. When he crawls to his books (around 15 board books) he always picks out Goodnight Moon. The simple words and different voices make this books a delight to read. It's become a fast bedtime ritual.
Rating:  Summary: Our favorite! Review: This is my daughter's favorite book and she loves to read it each night before we go to bed. She can recite each page before I am able to turn to it. This will be a classic forever!
Rating:  Summary: "Goodnight Moon" is a help in learning reading skills Review: "Goodnight Moon" was my granddaughter's (who is going on seven) favorite bedtime story. It is the only book that she would allow my son to read to her before going to sleep at night. No matter how many times he read it to her, she never got bored with it. When I, her grandmother, took care of her at times, I also had to read this book before she would close her eyes to go to sleep. As she grew older, before I could point out the various objects in the book, she was way ahead of me and said the names of them before I could utter a word. I am a retired school teacher, and I believe books like "Goodnight Moon" help children become familiar with "beloved" objects, and the repetition of them, I believe, leads to "letter" then "word" recognigion as they grow older. It is a wonderful, and beautifully illustrated book for children and was a joy to read to my granddaughter no matter how many times I had to read it to her!!
