Rating:  Summary: I Like This Book Review: This was a very good book. When I go to bed, my mammy reads it to me every nite. I think the piktures are very good. I like this book best of all because it makes me happy and I can fall a sleep.
Rating:  Summary: A staple in our childrens lives Review: This book (and Marcy and Her Friends by NEC Iankowitz) got my kids through some pretty tough evenings. Between calming their nerves with Marcy and Her Friends and putting them to sleep with the Good Night Moon ritual . . . motherhood got three levels easier.
Rating:  Summary: Great Bedtime Book Review: My daughter received this book as a gift for her 1 yr birthday(She is now 22 mos old and still loves this book. We read it every night before bed). At first, when I read it, I wasn't impressed with it at all. But then, the more we read it, I became wrapped up in the story through my daughter's enthusiasm of finding the little mouse in the pages and realized the sheer joy of her learning experience through reading and imagination. The lines are very short so little ones won't be easily bored waiting for the page to turn and it is so much fun for her to find the little mouse in each colored page, to watch her put her little finger to her mouth and whisper 'hush' with the little old lady in the corner, and to point out other objects in the room. The story is based on a little bunny going to bed and saying goodnight to various items in his room and with each turn of the page, the light in his room grows dimmer. '...Goodnight mush/And goodnight to the old lady whispering "hush"/Goodnight stars/Goodnight air/Goodnight noises everywhere' and with that the room is dark and the bunny is fast asleep. The book alternates between color pages and black & white pages during the story. The pages show full color the little bunny's room where a little mouse hides in different areas and is waiting to be found by little searching eyes. Then the pages alternate to black and white that show other items that are found in the room that the bunny says goodnight to. I have also found that if my daughter is hyper before bedtime, this book helps calm her down through the repetition of saying goodnight, by lowering my voice with each page that we turn and it actually helps prepare her for bed just like the bunny. This is a very short, very colorful and very fun book for little ones. I highly recommend it.
Rating:  Summary: My son giggles when he sees this book........... Review: I'm not sure why exactly, but since my son was about six months old, Goodnight Moon is the only book that he has shown any interest in. I've tried other books, including a ton of inherited Dr. Seuss books, however he won't sit still for any of them except Goodnight Moon. It's amazing to witness how immediately happy and calm he becomes once he sees this book. True, it can be very boring for parents to read over and over, but the important thing is that my son loves it, so I'll gladly reread it if it makes him happy. As soon as my son sees the book, he snuggles in my lap and waits for me to start. And for that, I gladly give this book five stars.
Rating:  Summary: Why does this book get good reviews? Review: I am sorry, I can not give this book a good review. It is just very boring. We ordered this because it has so many good reviews and when we received it and read it, I am afraid we were left scratching our heads as to why all the good reviews????? There are so many other entertaining books out there, with much better illustrations for the very young..........don't spend your money on this one, it's is NOT worth it!
Rating:  Summary: a wonderful book Review: This is a wonderful bok that is help me to sleep cause my mommy reads it to me every night
Rating:  Summary: It's good, but not the great book I was told to expect Review: It's cute, it's rythmic and it's fun to read....but I don't get why everyone makes such a big fuss over it. I think "Where The Wild Things Are" or "The Hungry Caterpillar" are both much better. That being said, it's worth checking out of the library and reading to your child a time or two.
Rating:  Summary: mothers against establishing a meter which you then violate Review: What is it about this book? My kids were indifferent and I went nuts trying to keep it sounding like poetry when I read it aloud. Can't be done. Isn't getting little kids to sleep hard enough without trying to force writing into a rhyme and metric scheme? Give me Dr. Seuss any day!
Rating:  Summary: One of the Classics!! Review: My mother bought this book in a set for our oldest son (then 2). As he made the transition to being in a big bed, being a big brother, and moving into a new house I found that this book was a comfort for him. In fact, we had to buy another one because he loved the first one to pieces (literally!!). Everynight our ritual was to read this book right before he laid his head down and in a few short weeks began "reading" the book to me first and now he wants to read it to his younger brother before he goes to sleep. I am amazed at how much he loves this book and even though he hasn't read it in at least 3 months he still remembers almost every word in the book.
Rating:  Summary: hush Review: i do not have a child but i am a "best bud" to the most wonderful liitle girl. i know, i know...we all think that...but i am blessed to hang out with her. we read this book every night i watch her (at least twenty times before she nods off) and each time we get to "the old lady whispering hush" she puts her finger to my mouth and i put mine to hers and we both whisper "hush." i am not sure i completely knew the meaning of love before i started hanging out with my friend. happy birthday isabela...you are two. it is late, my friend...hush. always, best bud
