My two year old loves this classic.

My students enjoyed this book

Building my first Grandchild's library and wanted to include this one.

My all time favorite book. Can't wait to read it to my grandson.

A large sized Goodnight Moon book. What could be bad about that? My daughter loves it. The book we received IS the FULL BOOK, I was a bit concerned after reading some of the reviews. This is just a larger size, (and I know the book- we have several copies). Love it!

Classic

Best children’s book ever!!

It's so calm. I feel as if I'm attaining enlightenment half way through each time. I've read it many-a time to multiple age-challenged individuals. Bought it for someone else. Pretty much everyone loves it. Good simple book for small kiddos.

One of mine and my grandchildren’s favorite books!! A great way to help ready the child/children for bed!!

I bought it for my nephew, and its a great book. He also has others.

Love the book!

Classic

Goodnight Moon is such a unique and lovable book, as well as a book guaranteed to lull its young readers to sleep. It can easily do so because it manages to capture the 34;in-between state before sleep begins,34; as Celeste Ng puts it. It's loose and simple narrative allows your mind to wander, almost mimicking a dream-like state. The book's images even shift from bright and vibrant to just black and white, again mimicking the flickering images we often encounter in our dreams.

This book is so calming, it's no surprise how popular it is. The words are all soothing when read out loud, and the rhyming makes it so the words flow together. Nothing abrupt or unexpected happens; a bunny child simply goes to sleep and says goodnight to various objects around the room, and even says goodnight to 34;nobody.34; These goodnights could easily be a bedtime ritual for a child, something to signal their brains to get sleepy and prepared for bed. The book as well is a goodnight ritual that soothes minds with whispering rhymes and calming thoughts. The color choices in this book are particularly interesting. The room itself is oddly colored, with bold reds, yellows, and greens. However, some pages of the book are black and white. The page that shows the comb, brush, and bowl of mush is black and white even though it's first depicted as colored. I wonder why this is. The colors used aren't calming, and the black and white is simply random. I think it might be because it makes your eyes tired, but it also is simply mysterious and nonsensical. I'd like to know what the reason is behind the changes between color and black and white.

Goodnight Moon is the perfect early reader, not only for the physicality of a board book which introduces children to books as a sort of hybrid between books and toys, but further because of its simplistic imagery. While other contemporary books (Zoom, Light) try their hand at image-heavy, somewhat meaningless stories, Goodnight Moon does so through a surreal setting, making the narrative open up beyond its own text. The big green room itself is an interesting entity--why is it bright green? Why are the curtains striped with the same green and an almost neon orange? And why are the 34;people34; in the book actually rabbits, though never addressed as such? All of these questions are easy to ask as an adult, but none are too complicated to be posed by a child, making the possibilities of Goodnight Moon apparently endless. One can even ask why Brown chose to say goodnight to the things in the book--a brush, a bowl of mush--and not others pictured. By wholly avoiding the opportunity most children's books make of teaching a lesson, Goodnight Moon ends up teaching kids the art of observation, and of quiet appreciation. The ritual of going to bed (something that's often difficult for young children) is simplified not by moral grandstanding, but simply by saying goodnight to objects around the room.
