The classic and complete bedtime story in just a few pages Goodnight Moon is as fresh and poignant as the day it was first published more than 50 years ago. The author taps into a child's world and gives us a perfectly crafted accompaniment to bedtime in words and pictures. This little story told through a child's eyes is in tune with the experience of any child safely in their bedroom at night time. I came late to Goodnight Moon, having been brought up in England where it isn't well known. But now I have a daughter and our bedtime routine is all the better for Goodnight Moon. I'm now reading it to her from memory every night. The rhythm of the words and phrases is like a piece of music: it's a complete and satisfying bedtime lullaby in words. And you can pick up something different every time you read it. The sense of warmth and security coming through the pictures and sounds in Goodnight Moon is unmistakeable. A word to those adults whose own childhood experiences of bedtime were not so sweet -- watch out: reading this book to your child can be a healing experience for you!
