Goodnight Moon

My grandchildren love this book. My son read it to his newborn twins shortly after birth and they still love hearing nightly it a year later.

A classic!!!

Brilliant for the last story to create a routine for sleep

I adore this book. I have bought for all of my grandchildren. Absolutely love this and all of the children want it read to them again and again. Absolutely gorgeous xx

Neither my husband or I had read this prior to getting this for our 5mo. Our baby enjoys the pictures and it is a nice, chilled out book for bedtime, but... there's something creepy about it. The mysterious "goodnight nobody" feels like it belongs in a horror film - I've honestly started skipping the page because it gives me the willies. Will probably continue read this while I can get away with not completing the incantation and summoning... whatever nobody is.

This is a lovely little book. Baby bunny sits in bed in the "great green room" and says goodnight to all the things that are in it, and visible out of the window - the red balloon, the kittens, the teddy bears in the picture on the wall, the stars, the moon, etc. The pictures alternate between brightly coloured (the green room is really, really green) and black and white, and the text is rhythmic and soothing. Ideal for 12 - 30 months. (Or tired mothers after a long day at work.) Postscript: having now read this to 3 children over a number of years, I would recommend it as one of the items you should purchase if you are expecting a baby. Each child I have read it to has loved it. My middle son had rather delayed speech and I noticed that at 2 he was starting to come out with the words of this book - presumably because they are simple and rhythmic and very memorable. A really good book. (Plus of course though this is entirely immoral it is a nice short bed-time book if you are knackered.)

Recommended on BBC Radio 4. A wonderful book.

My great neice loves this book. She "reads" it to herself and her parents when they can't read it to her! It is a classic beloved by all children. I taught 3 and 4 year olds for 30 years, they adoreded it, it was read over and over again. My son love it, and all his cousins! A classic book a must have for your children.

What an adorable story. I had never heard of this book until I was invited to my future sister in laws baby shower and we were asked to bring a book instead of a card. This was his favorite book as a child. We hope it's hers too!

The illustrator and author have put together a book that is read for generations. A family's treasure.

This is not the book I am asking for. The cover as advertised is correct in black color, but the one I received is in green. And more importantly, the content inside did not contain the retrospective written up by Leonard Marcus, in addition to the usual Goodnight Moon verses by Margaret Brown. So I checked out the ISBN numbers, and it's different than the one I requested. So it's a big disappointment.

Love this book!

Book cover is good as expected. Colourful pictures are attractive. Very nice for Toddlers for story building.love the book.
