Reviews
Rhythmic, gently lulling words combined with warm and equally lulling pictures make this beloved classic an ideal bedtime bookChristian Science Monitor
The sound of the words, the ideas they convey and the pictures combine to lull and reassureNew York Times
The words are like an incantation, a spell - intoxicating for children and mercifully unannoying for parents, even on the hundredth reading. To hear the opening line of Margaret Wise Brown’s Goodnight Moon - “In the great green room” - is to embark on a Proustian reverie about a calm place with the lights turned low and a child snuggling sleepily in your arms. It seems as complete as a children’s book can be.The New York Times
In a great green room a little bunny is tucked up snugly and safely in bed and is getting ready to say goodnight to all the familiar things in his room, one by one. This gentle story, loved by generations of children, is the perfect book to read to your toddler at bedtime (and hopefully lull them to sleep too)Mumsnet Best Books for 2 Year Olds (2nd April 2020)
