The sound of the words, the ideas they convey and the pictures combine to lull and reassure
New 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 Brownâs <i>Goodnight Moon</i> - âIn the great green roomâ - is to embark on a Proustian reverie about a calm place with the lights turned low and a child snuggling sleepily in your arms. <b>It seems as complete as a childrenâs book can be</b>.
The New York Times

Mumsnet Best Books for 2 Year Olds (2nd April 2020)
The best lullaby-type book is Goodnight Moon â my two and a half year old daughter can recite it off by heart and reads it to her teddy after we leave her to go to sleep. It is a wonderful discovery, clever, sweet and just the thing before bedtime
