It's a bunny's bedtime and he tells everything in the room goodnight as he is going to sleep.

As a young child I hated to go to bed, for fear I would miss something. This bedtime story will help young children fall asleep easily as its pictures and texts combined take them into restfulness and finally deep sleep.

The opening scene shows bold, bright colors of dark value. The bunny is wide awake sitting up in his bed looking at the telephone on the bedside. The text mentions the telephone, along with a red balloon. The reader may wonder why the telephone is mentioned. Maybe the bunny thinks it might ring. He seems to be sitting up waiting for something. On the next page the colors are achromatic. Throughout the book the pages alternate between color and achromatic. I think this may be a strategy for making you sleepy. If every page were bright, the colors could act as a stimulant. Eventually another Bunny appears, this one an “old lady.” This “old lady” has her paw raised to her lips which corresponds to the text whispering “hush.” The bedside lamp casts light above and below the lampshade, illuminating the darkening room. The colors of the room directly touched by the lamplight are just a hint lighter, giving the room a cozy feel. The “old lady” has knitting in her lap, possibly sitting with the bunny until he goes to sleep. If you notice a strand of yarn leading from her lap to the floor, this straight line turns into curvy, tangled lines that show you the kittens are not sleepy yet. They are having too much fun playing with the ball of yarn.

Towards the end, the kittens are shown sitting alert and still, and if you notice the direction they are facing: They are both looking at the “old lady.” Her yarn has been rolled up, leaving the kittens nothing to play with. The text mentions her saying “hush” again. You can imagine that she is speaking in quiet tones as you study the setting and the room is beginning to grow darker. I noticed that the bunny changes positions in the bed from page to page. This leads me to believe that he was trying to fight sleep and stay awake, like many children do at bedtime. Then finally in the end the bunny is asleep, the room is totally dark. I think the artist washed over the picture with a light covering of watered down black paint. The effect allows the reader to see into the room, imagining your eyes have adjusted to the dark, and with your night vision see the basic outlines. Still the room is not pitch dark, because there are two windows letting in moonlight and showing shining stars. The “old lady” has left the room, which tells us the bunny is finally asleep, and the kittens have resigned to sleep themselves, as they curl up in the chair once occupied by the “old lady” bunny.

Goodnight Moon is a classic bedtime story for children in preschool and kindergarden. It lists all of the objects and animals in the room, and then says good night to all of them. Children love to find the objects in the room by looking at the full picture.

http://www.margaretwisebrown.com/ This is one of the very best author pages I have seen. There is so much information on Margaret Wise Brown, which includes info about her and her books.

This book encourages observation and prediction. The story is simple, as is the text. A student could easily catch on after a few read throughs.

This book was read to me every single night before I went to bed. I think I could probably still recite it from memory! I think its great beauty is in the simplicity of the story and the wonderful illustrations.

This book is about night time and saying goodnight to each thing in the room. The mouse in this book is looking at all the things in the room where he is laying and he tells each one of them goodnight, including the moon. Children would enjoy this book because it is simple and they could understand it. ( )

Goodnight Moon is a small board book perfect for bedtime in which the narrator says goodnight to all of the objects in the room before drifting off to sleep. This is a timeless classic. The book was published in 1947, and children still love this book. The pictures are colorful, and the words are simple. It is a wonderful bedtime book, and it even makes a great book to sit down and read for quiet time. For example, there is a tiny mouse in almost every picture. Not only can you look for the mouse in the pictures but you can also look for the objects that are mentioned in the text, such as "Goodnight light / And the red balloon / Goodnight bears / Goodnight chairs." As you read, you can have the little ones point to the objects. This book is even for babies as I have read it to my children long before they could begin to point out objects. I would recommend this book for my library (medium public library). ( )
