Reader reviews for Goodnight Moon
Review summary
Readers largely admire Goodnight Moon as a calming, repeatedly requested bedtime read that anchors family routines. The rhythmic text and small visual searches keep children engaged, and many report years of nightly use despite worn board-book copies. Some adults enjoy revisiting it or using it alongside translations. Detractors cite the bold red-green palette and certain images as unsettling, arguing the art clashes with the lullaby-like prose. Companion editions and anthology reprints reinforce its reach across generations.

From the publisher
From the rear cover
In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon." And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room--to the picture of the three little bears sitting in chairs, to the clocks and his socks, to the mittens and the kittens, to everything one by one--he says goodnight.
In this classic of modern children's literature, beloved by generations of readers and listeners, the quiet poetry of the words and the gentle, lulling illustrations combine to make a perfect book for the end of the day.
