Goodnight Moon

Brown, M.W. (1991). Goodnight Moon. Illus. Clement Hurd. New York, New York: Harper Collins Publishers.
Brief Annotation: This children picture book is about saying goodnight to all of the things surrounding a little rabbit. It ties in all of the fairytale rhymes that we learned growing up as kids.
Genre: Children Picture book
Grade Level: Pre K-Grade 2
Readers who will like this: This a book for adults and children to enjoy together. It is the perfect "tuck-me-in" book for a child.
Response/Rating: I give this book a 4. I think this is the perfect book for a young child who is a little scared to go to bed at night. It has a sense of putting the child at ease showing them that they aren't alone in a large room and there are friendly things around them that will be resting too. I think the color shades changing as the moon goes down is also a clever touch by the illustrator.
Question: Have you ever felt like you were all alone at night and all you could see was the moon in the dark? How did, or does that make you feel?
