Book Reviews of Goodnight Moon
Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I read this book to my child, I got it out at the library. I thought it was silly and didn't make a lot of sense to me. The book stayed on my mind for weeks after though, and grew on me. I think it creates a comforting enviroment for the child and it is a great book to read to them before bedtime. What I would like to know is why is the "quiet old lady" not called "Grandmother" to the rabbit who is ready to go to sleep? I wonder if this "old lady" adopted the child, and where are the child's parents? This made me feel like the rabbit was lucky to have such a nice "old lady" to take care of him and knit by his bedside. Why was the bowl of mush uneaten, and isn't mush for breakfast? It is also funny how the kittens take not notice of the mouse in the same room as them. There are small,hidden, interesting things in this book, the answers to these questions we will probably never know. I gave this book five stars because it gives the reader a lot to think about, like those questions above, and especially because the book creates that great before bedtime setting. All of Margaret Wise Brown's books seem to create an aura of comfort, and they are timeless classics.Book Review: Excellent baby book - Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
Initially, I would have rated this book a one star but after reading reviews of others who had children before, I decided to give the book a chance. I learned that the repetition of this book is a teaching tool and realized that as I began to read the book to my infant a couple months ago. As time goes by, she is beginning to recognize the common objects in the pictures that she sees in our home. I love the way the room darkens as it is getting closer to bed time. The illustrations are beautiful and the other objects drawn in the "great green room" were carefully thought out by the illustrator. The simplicity of the home environment gives the reader a feeling of warmth and security. Yes, the simple words will eventually get boring to an adult, but to a baby/child with limited vocabulary, it is perfect.Book Review: FAVORITE BED TIME BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars
I have three children 8,3 and 2. From the oldest to the youngest this is one of our all time favorites. Threre is a peaceful rhythm to this book that just sets the tone for dozing off to sleep. At the end when the little rabbit is saying goodnight to everything we continue by saying goodnight to one another. I just ordered another one for my 4 year old niece. We actually read it so much we all know it by heart. I'll be buying this book for my grandkids many years from now.Book Review: Family Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
A classic bedtime story loved by my daughters and, now, my granddaughter.
My most recent purchase was a copy for a friend who has trouble falling asleep. :o)
Book Review: Favorite book for my 2 yr old twin grand babies.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book as a gift for my 2 year old twin grand babies. They had been using a checked out library book and the babies loved the book, so I got this book so they would have their own copy. They love this book and want it read to them every night. The book I received was just as described and I received it in a timely maner.
