Amazon.com Review:
Perhaps the perfect children's bedtime book, Goodnight Moon is a short poem of goodnight wishes from a young rabbit preparing for--or attempting to postpone--his own slumber. He says goodnight to every object in sight and within earshot, including the "quiet old lady whispering hush." Clement Hurd's illustrations are simple and effective, alternating between small ink drawings and wide, brightly colored views of the little rabbit's room. Finding all of the items mentioned throughout the book within the pictures is a good bedtime activity--a reappearing little mouse is particularly pesky. By the end of the little rabbit's goodnight poem, the story has quieted to a whisper, and the drawings have darkened with nightfall. As you turn the last page, you can expect a sleepy smile and at least a yawn or two. (Picture book)
Size of the book in Picture is a BIG FAT LIE:
I was looking for a large board book (the size of the book in the picture). What came in the mail was a small board book! This picture of the little girl holding the book (under the book for sale) is a trick. It is nowhere near that size and this should be considered to be FALSE advertising! I was extremely disappointed! I must emphasize that the book is great, I was just deceived by the size.
Not satisfied:
I still haven't received the book "Goodnight Moon." I ordered it over a month ago. Can you tell me why it's taking so long?
Magical Little Book!:
I received this book as a shower gift and thought it looked outdated. I started reading it along with a few other books to my son when he was only two months old. This was the only book he paid attention to. The bright illustrations caught his attention and the words seemed to entertain him. He's now a busy 11 month old and it is our go to book to calm him at bedtime. I will buy a copy for every expectant mother I know along with "Peek a Who" - our other household favorite!
Granddaughter just loves this book!:
I bought Goodnight Moon for my 16 month old granddaughter for Christmas. She just loves this book and carries it around with her. She doesn't like to have books read to her before going to bed, but whenever anyone comes to her house she hands them her book. She knows what everything is in the book. Her grandpa wanted to buy her some new books because he said he is tired of reading this one. She already has other books. She just prefers this one.
A Wonderful Book!!!:
I remember reading this book as a child and I would often ask my mom to read me it as a bedtime story at least once a week. Even now at the age of 22, I still have my old copy of the book. It's a timeless classic that will last through the ages! Allison
