• A poetic childrens book that is perfect for nap time and bedtime. Goodnight moon is focused on a little bunny who is being lulled to sleep and telling each object in his room goodnight. This is excellent for children to learn the names and purposes of objects. The vivid illustrations are calming yet intriguing to the eye.

•  Children would enjoy this book because it is simple and they could understand it. The way the book lures the child to sleep, while at the same time repeats sounds through a classic poem is one book that is re-read many times.

• Goodnight Moon is a classical children book and its precious and simple context made it a best seller when it was first published. Whether you are going to bed or waking up what makes this books so precious is the language Brown uses as the bunny says "good night to various objects including the dollhouse, the telephone, and several other things. This book is just a simple treat to read and the details of the illustrations are in a class of their own.

• Have always wanted to read this book ever since reading Goodnight Bush (a parody on George W. Bush). This is a book that one must read out loud. The words play off of each other with rhyme and lyrical text. Interesting aspect of the story is that everything is going to bed, except for the boy "mouse" in bed. When reading this book there seems to be a sense of warmth and reassurance through out the story, a feeling of comfort. There are details in the illustration through out the book that change (the clock) and re-appear which make for readers wanting to search and analyze each page. The illustrations are bright and vivid with a lot going on but with a sense of purpose, not obnoxious. The illustrations and story work well with each other and complementing each other. This book is written for children but adults seem to enjoy it just as much. Only problem being a bedtime book is that I have found myself wanting to re-read and keep flipping the pages back and forth once I am done reading the story. Ages 3 and up.
