Editorial Review
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.

A magical story that soothes a little soul.

A bedtime story that wraps a child in comfort and security. From the subtle changes in the darkening room to the soft repeated whispers of goodnight this book is a must for any child you love. Ann Clarke, author of People Are So Different! based on tolerance and understanding.
Good might moon 2008-06-09
I first purchased this book 36 years ago for my son; recently bought this new copy for my future grandson--I'm hoping it will be his favorite as it was his father's. It is such a delightful story and a great nightime
read before bed.
Not sure about all the hype 
2008-06-03
I got this based on the positive reviews...the sheer number of them. It is OK but I don't like the fact that there are some black and white pages and some coloured. The pictures also are small and don't really grab me. My baby is still only 5 mths old so I will see if maybe this is just an adult thing.
I prefer for going to bed time 'the going to bed book.'
My toddler daughter smiles listening to it 2008-05-21
It is a classic bedtime story book. It is short and simple, yet very young kids like it. Reading it to my toddler daughter is like reading a poem. I started on this book when my daughter was almost 1 year old. It was a bit late, she should have started on it earlier. She loves it. My daughter always sits on my lap when I read the book. She would turn her head around to smile at me everytime I read through a particular part of the story. My daughter is now 15 months, everytime when I pick up this book and starts to read to her, she would start to suck her thumb and know that it is time to sleep. At this moment, she likes this book the most among other story books.
Every Child Facility Should Have This Book............ 2008-05-20
I had a pleasure to read this to a preschooler, or two, finding this story intriguing.
Young children may handle this book better, because of its short, and the pictures are eye catching!
Classic For Every Home with Kids! 2008-07-03
I loved this book since I was a kid enjoying this. Actually, I think it was my little sisters - but I loved it too. If you are looking for a simple book that your children will love and enjoy this is it.
The cover alone brings back memories! It makes you want to share it with new generations.
Great gift too!

Has Stood the Test of Time 
2008-07-03
This book has certainly stood the test of time.
My nieces read this book as children and now they are adults.
I like this book.
Although it may seem somewhat simplistic to some adults it is for a young child. As one reviewer commented "it put me to sleep", isn't that what it is supposed to do? It is a book about going to bed.
To me, it de-mystifies the the things in a child's room that may seem scary to them once the lights are out. If you help the child identify the items in their room, then they are not so frightening in the dark. Of course, this is only my perception.
Haven't so many of us experienced seeing an object in our room as a child, in the dark and it looks like something it's not? Then you turn the light on and discover it is only your teddy bear.
Not as bad as some think, but not as great as others 2008-06-24
This book was written to be very boring, very calming.
As a result, many adults simply cannot stand it. I firmly suggest that you read the book before purchasing it or putting it on your baby registry. If you remember it from your childhood, re-read it - many childhood books seem different once you've grown up.
Then, if you still love it and don't mind the thought of reading it every night for a year (children *will* get their little fixations), go ahead and buy it! (This is actually good advice for any children's book, but especially the ones in the "lull them to sleep" group.)
If you find it a little too much... get something else.
I will note that even if you do not buy the book, many people find that saying goodnight to everything in the room (or good-bye if you're leaving the house instead of taking a nap) is a good transition activity for little children.
I've read this book every night for the past 8 months . . . 2008-06-22
as part of the bedtime routine for my now 18 mo old boy. Of course, I am able to recite it by rote after oh, about 10,000 times. I don't even have to pay attention any more, as he knows where to turn the pages. Why do I keep doing this night after night? Because every time I ask him if he's ready for his story, he giggles with delight and runs to get Goodnight Moon, and Brown Bear, the other book of our nightly ritual. Brown Bear always comes first, Goodnight Moon always comes last. In between, we vary it with others, like Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear; Quick as a Cricket; Are You My Mother; The Very Hungry Caterpillar; Thomas the Tank Engine; etc. I love Goodnight Moon for making that sweet little boy express such delight at reading it.
So much fun tracking the mouse's whereabouts 2008-06-21
A classic bed-time book that shows the psyche's of a child who doesn't want to sleep. What's a child to do when they want to postpone sleep? Say goodnight to everything from kittens to mittens and when you can't think of anything, say goodnight to nobody. A classic example of what happens when a great writer collaborates with a genius illustrator. There are so many things going on that the first few times you read it there is something new you discover. The gradually darkening of the room, the bunny turning around to say goodnight to the bears and the mouse! Where is the mouse? A somber book made fun....
