Goodnight Moon

My grandchildren love this book. My son read it to his newborn twins shortly after birth and they still love hearing nightly it a year later.

Brilliant for the last story to create a routine for sleep

I adore this book. I have bought for all of my grandchildren. Absolutely love this and all of the children want it read to them again and again. Absolutely gorgeous xx

Recommended on BBC Radio 4. A wonderful book.

Neither my husband or I had read this prior to getting this for our 5mo. Our baby enjoys the pictures and it is a nice, chilled out book for bedtime, but... there's something creepy about it. The mysterious "goodnight nobody" feels like it belongs in a horror film - I've honestly started skipping the page because it gives me the willies. Will probably continue read this while I can get away with not completing the incantation and summoning... whatever nobody is.

My great neice loves this book. She "reads" it to herself and her parents when they can't read it to her! It is a classic beloved by all children. I taught 3 and 4 year olds for 30 years, they adoreded it, it was read over and over again. My son love it, and all his cousins! A classic book a must have for your children.

Having bought this on the strength of all the reviews, and loved it myself when it arrived, I was disappointed that my 10 month old grandchild did not love it as well. However, I've come to realise that the seemingly repetitious coloured picture on every other page is very boring for a child who cannot yet understand every word you say to her concerning the page. She loves the other stories by Margarey Wise Brown - in the Runaway Bunny she can point to the baby bunny and the mummy bunny on every page and in My World she can always find the baby bunny wherever he is. If you have the same trouble just bear with it, as I'm going to, and wait till your child/grandchild is a little older. For me, as an adult, I think the nighttime story is lovely and there are so many things to point out to get a child to recognise things(like finding the little mouse on every page for instance). UPDATE. My granddaughter is now 20 months and absolutely loves the book. It was well worth the wait and perseverence. There are so many of the same things on each page that by the time we come to the end I'm sure that part of her delight is feeling that she 'knows' everyone and feels thoroughly acquainted with everything in the room.

My son love it. We read it every night

Un clásico. Lo leemos todas las noches antes de dormir.

What an adorable story. I had never heard of this book until I was invited to my future sister in laws baby shower and we were asked to bring a book instead of a card. This was his favorite book as a child. We hope it's hers too!

The illustrator and author have put together a book that is read for generations. A family's treasure.

This is not the book I am asking for. The cover as advertised is correct in black color, but the one I received is in green. And more importantly, the content inside did not contain the retrospective written up by Leonard Marcus, in addition to the usual Goodnight Moon verses by Margaret Brown. So I checked out the ISBN numbers, and it's different than the one I requested. So it's a big disappointment.

One of my children's favorites bedtime books
