Summary: So sweet and relaxing.
Review: I purchased this book when my daughter was not quite 3 years old. It has been a nightly ritual that this book gets read to her. She has even read it to me several times and I love it. I have a very special man in my life who lives 800 miles away and I read it to him also. I have put him "nite-nite" several times. He says it's the rhythm I use while reading it. It is definitely a very soothing and relaxing book to read and listen to. Though, it may not make sense to some people who read to their children, I disagree and must say that this is the BEST BOOK on the market for babies and toddlers and well, children of all ages. I just recently found out that my sister is expecting her first child and you can bet I'll be giving this to her as a gift.

Summary: Don't see the point
Review: I hate to disagree with everyone else that raves about this book, but... I don't see the allure to this book. My son found it acceptable, but nothing special. I didn't enjoy the cadence, premise, and it made no sense to me at all.

Summary: This is the most boring book ever!
Review: I would definitely pass this book up. The picture on each page is nearly exactly the same as the picture on every other page - and they are all boring. The words are completely uninteresting. One advantage to this book, is that it does put you and your baby to sleep. My one year old and I enjoy many, many books together (her favorite is The Very Quiet Cricket), but this is not one that she enjoys at all.

Summary: Magically wonderful
Review: When I first received this book I was a little surprised. It seemed a bit simplistic and unfantasticaly illustrated. After reading it to my son a few times I knew it was a winner. We have read this book hundreds of times and it is still as refreshing as those first few. Definatley a winner.

Summary: Goodnight Moon
Review: A classic book that will never go out of style. Our little one chooses this book nightly for his bedtime reading. It's amazing to see his face light up when see's the "Red Baloon"! A must have for your little one(s)!

Summary: Every Child Should read this book....
Review: A few weeks ago i was looking for a copy of this book for my 6 month old cousin, and my boyfriend just happedned to be in the store with me, and he said he had never heard of good night moon. I told him he was seriously deprived as a child not having read this book, it is a must have for all children, it will lull them to sleep before you know it. I remeber fondly my parents reading this book to me as a child, and since that time i have been deovouring everybook i can get my hands on, but this one always brings back the magic of our childhood.

Summary: Read this Book to Create Happy Memories and Pleasant Sleep
Review: This is a book that I read every night to my children. For years, I could not quite put my finger on its appeal. Finally, it clicked one day. There is a cadence to the story that is like a mediation mantra, quietly and gently calming you and your child down. In addition, the book's text and illustrations are matched in away that it is natural to point out the words and pictures to your child, and for them to do the same as they grow older. This means that you are also starting to teach reading in natural, relaxed way. In addition, we all tend to see the glass as half empty rather than as half full. Goodnight Moon encourages a sense of gratitude for whatever is around us. That is a profound and wonderful lesson for everyone to have. Finally, children are fascinated by how another child's room might look. So you also help them to understand the differences among families. How many other books do you know that accomplish so much? Best of all, you and your children (and grandchildren, perhaps) will have wonderful memories to share. That's fantastic! Enjoy!

Summary: what's the appeal?
Review: I don't see why all these people have rated this as such a great book. There are so many other really great books. I got 5 copies for baby presents. They have a permanent place on the shelf.

Summary: Perfect at any age
Review: There never has been, and never will be, a children's book quite as wonderful as GOODNIGHT MOON. My mom read this to me when I was little, and I've bought it for other young ones since then because it was my favorite as a child. The pictures and words alone are more soothing than a thousand nighttime rockings. This is an American classic, and it's not hard to see why. It's simple, it's lovely and it's downright perfect. Buy it for anyone expecting a child. They'll thank you for it.
