Book Reviews of Goodnight Moon
Book Review: A classic
Summary: 5 Stars
My children love the rhyme-like feel of this book's passages. By saying "goodnight", the child puts everything in its proper place and is finally ready for a night's sleep. My only criticism is that I wish the book was a little longer. My daughter is sometimes sad because the story ends, so I have to start from the beginning; but that is the sign of a good book.Book Review: A classic discovered...with inconsistencies
Summary: 4 Stars
Although I personally did not grow up with this book in my library, I've enjoyed getting to know it with my son. As soon as we started reading this book together, it became one of his favorites. The bright colors and the variety of items to pick out and name make it entertaining. I am curious to see if others have run into the same thing: my son likes balloons a lot, so the "red balloon" was definitely a focus point. At 17 months old, he was pointing out the inconsistencies- from one picture to the next, the red balloon and its string will disappear and then reappear. My son will point to where the balloon is and then where the balloon should be on another page. Has anyone else run into this? I'm curious why the author created such inconsistencies (unrealistic for a balloon, ok for a moving mouse)- were these just errors that happened upon publishing that were never corrected? Nevertheless, we still enjoy the book (glad to see his eye for detail) and recommend it.Book Review: A long time favorite!

Summary: 5 Stars
As a children's book author and mom I admire the writings of Margaret Wise Brown for years. Margaret created one of the most beloved children's book that has held a special place in our hearts. I remember reading this countless times to my girls when they were younger. I think it's a timeless story and helps young children feel more comfort before bedtime. I know with my youngest daughter she had fears of the dark and bed time was anxiety provoking for her. We had to read Goodnight moon each night. Both my girls loved looking at all the little details in the pictures and finding and saying goodnight to all characters and objects in the book. They especially enjoyed the goodnight nobody page! What a clever ending to a creative bedtime story. It's a must have for any young child!
