Perhaps the perfect children's bedtime book, Goodnight Moon is a short poem of goodnight wishes from a young rabbit preparing for--or attempting to postpone--his own slumber. He says goodnight to every object in sight and within earshot, including the "quiet old lady whispering hush." Clement Hurd's illustrations are simple and effective, alternating between small ink drawings and wide, brightly colored views of the little rabbit's room.
Finding all of the items mentioned throughout the book within the pictures is a good bedtime activity--a reappearing little mouse is particularly pesky. By the end of the little rabbit's goodnight poem, the story has quieted to a whisper, and the drawings have darkened with nightfall. As you turn the last page, you can expect a sleepy smile and at least a yawn or two. (Picture book)

My 2 ¢ ♠♠♠♠♠

This is a very cute starter book for any kid whose parents wish to expose their kids to read in an early age. It’s more suitable to read just before bedtime at night, when kids are run down on energy and on the border of sleep. Great pictures and very catchy which is a plus, cause that would usually invite the kids to join up in reading it with the parent. Incredibly thumbs up for this one.

This would be suitable for kiddies and difficult readers and a great addition for the public libraries for parents check out for their kids.
