Goodnight Moon Reviews

The sound of the words, the ideas they convey and the pictures combine to lull and reassure * The New York Times *
Rhythmic, gently lulling words combined with warm and equally lulling pictures make this beloved classic an ideal bedtime book * Christian Science Monitor *
The words are like an incantation, a spell - intoxicating for children and mercifully unannoying for parents, even on the hundredth reading. To hear the opening line of Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon - "In the great green room" - is to embark on a Proustian reverie about a calm place with the lights turned low and a child snuggling sleepily in your arms. It seems as complete as a children's book can be. * The New York Times *
It is inconceivable that the last line - "goodnight noises anywhere" could be uttered in anything but a whisper, by which point eyes are drooping and the Land of Nod beckons. * Evening Standard - The best timeless story books for young children *
One of the world's favourite bedtime books, perfect for soothing small children to sleep * Eastern Daily Press *
