Book Reviews of Goodnight Moon
Book Review: Every Child Facility Should Have This Book............
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a pleasure to read this to a preschooler, or two, finding this story intriguing.
Young children may handle this book better, because of its short, and the pictures are eye catching!
Book Review: great classic, a must for every kid
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book together with Runaway Bunny. My daugther fell in love with Good Night Moon only. She loves looking for little mouse and loves to look at the nice illustrations and listen to lovely rhymes. At the end, we say good night to things in her room as well.
What I wish is maybe to have all ilustrations in color (some are in black and white).
But overall, this is lovely book, strongly recommend it.
Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my 2 year old daughter with fond memories from my childhood. She loves it, and wants to read the 'moon book' every night. She loves it so much she even 'takes care' of it, sleeping with it at night and gently turning the pages (all other paperback books have been ripped thus far). If you don't own this, you need to.Book Review: My daughter enjoys this book every night.

Great book with nicely laid out objects that kids can spot. I've almost memorized the whole book.Book Review: Goodnight Sanity
Summary: 5 Stars
This item of psychedelic literature appears charming at first, with its depictions of traditional Anglo-American d?cor and its rhythmic treatment of a soothing bedtime ritual. But closer inspection reveals subtle dangers for the young mind. This is not just the story of a rabbit-child going to bed, saying goodnight to everything he sees. This is the story of a mind on edge, of the dissolution of temporal reality. What is there is not necessarily there, like the red balloon that disappears in the middle of the book, only to reappear at the end. Or the socks on the drying rack, inexplicably gone. Or the painting of the moon-jumping cow; sometimes we see a mailbox there, sometimes not. The number of books on the bookshelf changes, throwing the very notion of objective perception into chaos. If one cannot be sure of where one is or what is in front of him, how can he be sure that he is anywhere at all? "Cogito ergo sum" offers little comfort in a world where the self has no ground to stand on.
But the ultimate threat to the unsteady mind is on the rabbit's nightstand, where a copy of Goodnight Moon rests ever so humbly. Imagine: a book within itself, within itself, within itself, to infinity. What tricks this could play on a young reader who, sitting in his room alone, mind dimmed with fatigue, only wanted to say goodnight to that lovely bowl of mush! Oh that tasty, tasty mush. Just like mom makes, with the raisins and the brown sugar. Or you always thought she made, but now you can't be sure.
Highly recommended as a sink or swim test for curious young minds. Also consider Common Psychological Disorders in Young Children for parental reading.
