Good Night Moon is a classic story book. It goes through the ritual of telling things that you see good night. It's the perfect night time story and one that i hope my kid's can enjoy one day. ( )

A classic bedtime tale that keeps the reader entertained as we say goodnight to many different objects. Told through a rhyme so it's easy for kids to keep up and remember for future reads. Definitely a suggestion for students who have trouble sleeping. ( )

Both my daughters loved this book before they started school. Reading the words aloud together was as much fun for us as singing a beloved Christmas carol. And my girls never tired of pointing out the location of the little mouse which is located at a different place on each page. ( )

A short poem of goodnight wishes from a young rabbit preparing for--or attempting to postpone--his own slumber.

This is a great humorous introduction to how preschoolers or early childhood students are supposed to sleep and get ready for bed. ( )

Book description
Goodnight Moon is a story about a little rabbit who says "goodnight" to every item in his home. These items include a pair of mittens, a young mouse, a comb, and a bowl full of mush. Illustrations are very simple; many of them are black and white drawings. The book is very short, but perfect for a bedtime story.
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0694003611, Board book)

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)
