In the great green room, there was a telephone..."
In the warm peach-coloured upstairs bedroom, a baby boy was born, delivered by his father,admired by his brother, welcomed with tears and kisses by his mother.
Pros: A classic book Cons: Only for small children
Ok, I will start this review with a confession. I have three copies of this book. I have it in paper back, hard back and a cardboard book copy. Wheww! I feel much better now that I have got that off my chest.
Pros: Interesting Illustrations, good book Cons: It isn't really a story
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown was one of the first books we bought our second daughter. It was a Christmas gift on her first birthday and has quickly become a favorite for her as well as her older sister.
Pros: clever illustrations; great learning tool for young minds to pick out objects Cons: almost too simple for any age over preschool
The book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown is a bedtime story classic. First published in 1947, this story has lulled many children to sleep over the years. Surprisingly, I first heard of this story and purchased the book nearly eleven years...
Pros: Simple words, rhyming text, easy to memorize, predictable. Cons: More appreciated for nostalgic effect than actual story plot.
With a copyright of 1947, one can say that this classic child fiction book has withstood the test of time. Just the title alone relinquishes a child comfort memory such as one realized by Captain Crunch cereal, Slapstick suckers, How...
Pros: Pros: Quiet, calming story, repetitive, rhyming words, reassuring and comforting at bedtime or anytime
Cons: none
When our grandson was only a few months old, our daughter-in-law asked us to tape record ourselves reading story books. We live over 1,00 miles away and she wanted her son to remember our voices when we were not there. One book we chose was "Goodnight...
Pros: Simple, beautifully illustrated Cons: A bit slow, perhaps
This children's book has obviously generated bushels of critical acclaim. It seems wrongheaded to pile another log onto the woodpile, but I feel compelled to do so, only if to air my own admiration for this work. I do have a twist, however, we have...
Pros: simple sweet story Cons: I can't find fault with it
The story
A little bunny is going to bed. His room is green and filled with all of his favorite things. As the time for sleep draws near he wishes a good night to everything in his room in turn.
Pros: Very rhythmatic. Helps put child to sleep. Easy to memorize, even if they can't read. Cons: Pictures are dull.
Let's face it, bedtime can be stressfull! Just when you think the children have gone to sleep you hear..."I'm thirsty, mommy." "I'm cold." "I'm hot." "My covers came off." "There's something in my closet." "I need more light." "I heard a noise."
...
Pros: Cute illustrations, classic story, easy to turn pages, sturdy and durable Cons: Not one :)
I know that most people have heard of this book before, probably during their childhood, but this wasn't in my arsenal of books. Oh sure, I know what Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Giving Tree are... but Goodnight Moon just wasn't ...
Pros: Simple, sweet, gentle. Illustrations are simple and excellent Cons: You may find yourself quoting this book frequently and without thinking about it :-)
It is somewhat ironic that after 4 and a half years of what is commonly referred to as "mommy brain" (a condition in which even the simplest of words and thoughts slips through the sieve of my mind with startling regularity), I can still...
Pros: Classic bedtime story and treasured book Cons: verses may not flow smoothly in some parts

Pros: sweet, simple, perfect bedtime story Cons: none
Goodnight Moon. Just saying those two words in my home will evoke the words "In the great green room..." My children love having this story read to them, even though they are able to read it themselves.
