1) Board book Book Goodnight Moon by HarperFestival. The Christmas Edition
This was a bedtime favorite of my children. Now our oldest is about to have her own child (its a boy). So I bought a parcel of books for the baby. When Kimberly saw this book, tears sprang in her eyes remembering me reading this to her while she sat on my lap. In a few more months someone new will be in her arms on her lap, and she will be reading this book to him.¤

2) Board book Book Goodnight Moon by HarperFestival. My Mom and Dad used to read this to me every night growing up and I bought it for my God daughter because it is one of the most memorable books from my childhood.
Such a great children´s book. Should be a part of every child´s bedtime story time¤

3) Board book Book Goodnight Moon by HarperFestival. I´ve only read this book a couple of times to my young son, but plan to read more once he gets older. The book is very simple and more of a short story. If you wanted to make it a litte longer for your child then you could point things out in the story like, "See the bunny" to make it longer. I really like the book though and I´m excited to use it as a bed time story. It is a recommended book after all.¤

4) Board book Book Goodnight Moon by HarperFestival. According to my mom I loved this book when I was a baby. She thinks that the one I had was all color and more vibrant than this edition. Half of the pages of this new edition are black and white. Very uninspiring. Out of 100+ books that my 17 month old son has, this is his least favorite. I read it to him a few times but his eyes seemed to glaze over with boredom (in a way it´s actually kind of cool to see him discriminate between good and bad "literature"). Now it is gathering dust.¤

5) Board book Book Goodnight Moon by HarperFestival. My opinion should matter very little here. What´s important is that young kids absolutely love this book. All 3 of my sons loved this during the 1.5 to 3 years of age range. It´s a great book for them to wind down in the evening. They love spotting the moon, the kittens, and whispering the word "hush."

It´s easily memorized (as an adult reader). The illustrations are adequate, but the flow of words just does not do it for me. It´s not something I would pick up to read for a child, but when they start clamoring "moon, moon," there can be only one response. Yes, you read it to them again (and again...and again...).

I do recommend it, but don´t expect to personally love it, like I do with other books (like the Spot books).¤

6) Board book Book Goodnight Moon by HarperFestival.

In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon." And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room--to the picture of the three little bears sitting in chairs, to the clocks and his socks, to the mittens and the kittens, to everything one by one--he says goodnight.

In this classic of modern children´s literature, beloved by generations of readers and listeners, the quiet poetry of the words and the gentle, lulling illustrations combine to make a perfect book for the end of the day.

7) Board book Book Goodnight Moon by HarperFestival. 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)¤
