Editorial Review:
Everybodies favorite bedtime book. This beloved book is by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd. In this classic of 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.
The text is quite disjoint, like bits and pieces of other fairy tales and nursery rhymes put together. It seems like the author has just put down random things together - there's no rhyme (literally!) or reason for any of the pages. It does not flow lyrically.
The only interesting aspect is the black and white illustrations on some of the pages. This offers a striking contrast to the color illustrations. However, the whole book has not been put together well, and the quality of illustrations is just so-so. So the impact of the b&w is also pointless.
Compared to other wonderful books like the "Hungry Caterpillar" or "Ten Little Lady Bugs" or "The Firefly's First Flight" which we all really love, this book definitely is not worth having in the childrens' bookshelf.
I seem to be among the minority in disliking this book on Amazon - perhaps I am not seeing something that others are.. But hey! this is truly my opinion!
This book is so good it's falling apart, it's been read so many times! Time to order a new one!

A Great bedtime story!
My son loves this book so much that he doesnt just want me to read it at night.. he wants me to read it a million times in the day too! my 19 month old loves pointing out all the objects on the page that we are saying good night to. The worlds are flowy.. the pictures are perfect and it keeps him interested from the first page to the last. A toddlers bookshelf is incomplete without this book! 2008-08-20
Goodnight Moon
Was as advertised but did not meet my expectations. Maybe it will grow on me after some family use. 2008-07-28
Silly, disjointed text, average illustrations
I got the book for my 4 yr old and 2 yr old - but neither of them like it much. My husband and I don't like reading it either, and here's why:

Book is falling apart its so good
Every child I've ever read this too has begged for me to "read it again". It even captures babies attention as well as my six year old son's still, who's read it a gazillion times.
This book is so good it's falling apart, it's been read so many times! Time to order a new one!
