Book Reviews of Goodnight Moon
Book Review: My son's favorite bedtime story
Summary: 5 Stars
I started reading Goodnight Moon to my son at 4 months of age and it became his favorite bedtime story. When he reached about 9 months I started pointing out objects to him and naming them for him, like the cat, moon, fireplace, red balloon etc. Before long he'd point them out to me as I read. He's nearly 2 and he still enjoys this book, although he gets to choose each night and he often now chooses another book. I know he still likes it though, and he still will point out things to me. I think this is a great book to get someone as a gift or just to add to your baby/toddlers library.Book Review: highly boring overated book
Summary: 1 Stars
Im not sure if my daughter just has less of an attention span or wants to look at more interesting things but i found this a highly useless book. The objects in the book were very small, on some pages they were in black and white and some of the things in the room arent very topical or relevant. I tried reading to my daughter from this book. she was happy to bang her hands on the book generally and try to turn the pages but the pictures werent in the least bit interesting to her and the lyrics didnt have much of a soothing effect either. i find it hard to believe that america finds such a third rate book such a classic. Book Review: Best bedtime story ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book from friends several years back and thought then that it was cute, but now that I have a one year old son I think it is GREAT! My son absolutely adores this book and we have to read it to him every evening before he goes to bed. He also carries it around with him during the day (first thing he picks off the shelf in his room), and it seems to give him a great sense of comfort.
Personally, I love the way the book is set up with the repetition of the same motifs and the gradual darkening of the room. So clever! The repetitiveness also is great for fostering cognitive development. My son now recognizes a few items in the book and points them out as I read it to him.
I can't wait for the moment when we can together say goodnight to all the different objects in his room at the end of the day. What a great way to end a child's day and help him get comfortable in his room and ready for the night.
Book Review: Classic For Every Home with Kids!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book since I was a kid enjoying this. Actually, I think it was my little sisters - but I loved it too. If you are looking for a simple book that your children will love and enjoy this is it.
The cover alone brings back memories! It makes you want to share it with new generations.
Great gift too!

Book Review: Has Stood the Test of Time
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has certainly stood the test of time.
My nieces read this book as children and now they are adults.
I like this book.
Although it may seem somewhat simplistic to some adults it is for a young child. As one reviewer commented "it put me to sleep", isn't that what it is supposed to do? It is a book about going to bed.
To me, it de-mystifies the the things in a child's room that may seem scary to them once the lights are out. If you help the child identify the items in their room, then they are not so frightening in the dark. Of course, this is only my perception.
Haven't so many of us experienced seeing an object in our room as a child, in the dark and it looks like something it's not? Then you turn the light on and discover it is only your teddy bear.
