Book Reviews of Goodnight Moon
Book Review: Five stars, though I'm not entirely sure why
Summary: 5 Stars
My now 2-year old son asks for us to read this to him over and over each night - he just loves it. We both enjoy it too, but really can't tell you why it seems to have any almost mythic hold on so many young children. The text is simple, but it is visually full of small details that our son likes to point out, which must be part of it. This book is like Goodnight, Gorilla - a wildly popular and sweet book that is sort of hard to explain the allure of.Book Review: From 1 star to 5 stars.
Summary: 5 Stars
Upon receiving this book I initially wrote a bad review of it, as the illustrations have a lot to be desired, but after reading it to my son I think it's only fair that I change my feedback. My son just adores this book, and since this book is for him and not me I know he'd give it rave reviews.Book Review: From the Moon Inward
Summary: 5 Stars
I still own the 1947 edition of this all-time great children's book. There are few children's books ever written that are more special. "Goodnight Moon" is perfect for putting the kids to bed with. It will gently induce them to a state of serenity as the young rabbit in the great green room says goodnight to all in its surroundings. "Goodnight Moon" offers the coziness of goodnight to kittens and mittens, clocks and socks, mush and the old rabbit lady whispering "hush."
The atmosphere is still. The pages with black & white illustrations are good but not memorable; the color illustrations, however, are classic. The great green room is balanced heavily with red and also with other colors. Does the texture everywhere tell us we in a cottage? Perhaps, but regardless the pictures are surreal, very enjoyable as the colored pages fade from bright to dark as the night sets in. The calming images in "Goodnight Moon" -- with the unforgettable cow jumping over the moon -- and the simple rhymes of the words truly became a part of me. Expect the kids to love it.
