Average Rating: Rating: - Classic Bedtime Story The book is a true classic. A young rabbit in blue and white striped pajamas crawls into bed and says goodnight to everything in his room in addition to the moon. The cadence and meter of the words will have your child's eyes closing by book's end. I have both the hard cover and boardbook version. Both hold up very well. When my son was one, he looked at the pictures and listened to the words. As he grew he began to really see the pictures and all that is contained on each page, including the tiny mouse. This book was first published in 1947. It is timeless. The only thing I have to explain to my son each time I read the book, is "what is mush". The story is comforting. The rhyming phrases are fascinating for a young child. This book is an absolute must for any child's bookshelf. Highly, highly recommended. Rating: - A true children's classic. I have a friend who has recently become an elementary school teacher and is teaching kindergarten. She talked me into coming in to read to her class--any book(s)I wanted to bring with me. My reading gig is coming up this week so this past weekend I asked my 16 year old daughter to go through her old children's books (she has 50-60 of her old favorites still on a bookshelf in her room) and she emerged with 2 or three books for the kid's but also with Goodnight Moon--which she wanted me to read to her. As Miss Zoe was growing up we'd read every night and Zoe (my daughter) got to choose what we read. She'd usually pick 2 to 3 books and, for years and years, Goodnight Moon was always one of them. The book itself is somewhat inexplicable--mostly it's just a silly little poem, really--but for my kids it really struck a chord. All I know is that if your sixteen year old daughter wants to curl up on the couch and have you read one of her childhood books to her, that's quite a book. I always give this to friends when they have a first baby, and I have always found that a few years later they are still telling me it is their kid's favorite book. So don't try to figure it out, just buy it and read it to your kids. It'll be a treasure you share for years. Rating: - A classic for a reason I got this book (in the board version) for a shower gift for my now 2-year-old daughter. I didn't remember reading this book as a child and at first it seemed a little odd -- the pictures weren't tremendously appealing and the rhyme scheme seemed strange. I have, however, been converted. After reading the book several times to my newborn daughter, I noticed how soothing it was to her. She seemed to be able to see the pictures and, as she got older, would reach out to touch elements in each. We read it every night for months, because it seemed to set a good tone for bedtime. After learning a little more about how children think, I began to understand what made it so appealing -- the ritual of saying good night to familiar objects helped reassure her when she had to say good night to her mom and dad, which can be scary for tiny kids. Now, of course, she's a big girl and says it's a "baby book". However, it's still by her bed and I've overheard her "reading" it to herself or to her baby brother many times. It's an excellent choice for a baby you love.
