Goodnight Moon

This is a very sweet book. I had to read it at least twenty times in the same week to my children. They love it. I highly recommend this book.

Excellent read!

For some reason, my child loves this book and it remains a favourite bedtime story book! I like reading it to him since it is soothing.

A Classic, but printing quality has disappeared these days

This book is no doubt a classic and I love it. However, I noticed a significant difference in the print quality of the older version I had checked out from the library and this new edition. There is less detail and the color is not as good. I checked out the library's copy to do some paintings of some of the illustrations as a gift for my nephew, so I noticed the differences right away. Perhaps this is the times we are in, or perhaps there are better quality publications out there, not sure how to find them. It didn't stop me from buying one for my friend though.

5-star for the children

My opinion should matter very little here. What's important is that young kids absolutely love this book. All 3 of my sons loved this during the 1.5 to 3 years of age range. It's a great book for them to wind down in the evening. They love spotting the moon, the kittens, and whispering the word "hush."

It's easily memorized (as an adult reader). The illustrations are adequate, but the flow of words just does not do it for me. It's not something I would pick up to read for a child, but when they start clamoring "moon, moon," there can be only one response. Yes, you read it to them again (and again...and again...).

I do recommend it, but don't expect to personally love it, like I do with other books (like the Spot books).
