There's no question that this children's classic is beautifully written, so I'll talk about our experience with and appreciation for it. We allowed our 2 1/2 yr old Great-granddaughter to open the mailing package and the box holding the book and bunny. Both are a perfect size for her little hands. The hardboard book is going to hold up through countless reads, and the bunny fits right in the curve of her neck as we cuddle and read. This child rarely sits still and has a difficult time calming down to fall asleep, but the first time she climbed up in my lap to read Goodnight Moon, she was captivated by the calming words and pictures. When we reached the end, she said, "Do it again." Gladly! Half way through our second reading, her breathing was deep and regular....she was asleep! Goodnight Moon is a peaceful little story that takes place in "the great green room," which is filled with lovely details for young minds to enjoy seeing over and over. Every time we begin the book, I read "Goodnight Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown." She's a genius...she deserves the credit....HA!Read full review

Margaret Wise Brown is THE quintessential children's author: children love to hear her stories over an over; there are excellent life lessons and qualities in her stories; her prose spans age of the audience, time itself, and entertainment medium. Ms. Brown's stories are classics and one of my children's favorite stories to be read each night (and we had hundreds). My own memories of having read stories each night at bedtime to each of my children remains as one of the most rewarding and cherished - not only to me, but to each of them as well. I purchased these two classics - in my opinion two of Ms. Brown's best works - as a "welcome to the family" gift, for the latest (great) nephew and his Daddy. I was thrilled that a special commemorative edition was available with the prospect that it may continue to be passed down and along throughout our family. I'm convinced that the close relationship I have with each of my children prevails because of the hours of bonding through all of the bedtime stories we shared over the years. And Ms. Brown's stories of recalcitrant bunnies, curious raccoon, and sleepy donkey rank among our favorites.Read full review

A calming way to prepare a small child for bed. No words, just pictures. After a while, the child can tell the story just using the pictures. The soft bunny that accompanies the book, is a bonus as the book can be bought alone..

Goodnight Moon is the very best first book to give - and with the bunny in the package even better. The text is reassuring backed up by relevant and charming illustrations - It will be a classic forever and is a must-have for every small child. This item was in perfect condition and I will be giving it as a first birthday present.
