Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown

This is a classic storybook I actually received in a new parents' kit from my doctor's office when my daughter was born. In the book, a little bunny rabbit is getting ready for bed and says goodnight to everything around him. Because my daughter is so little, she can't understand the theme of the book, but she does enjoy watching me point at the pictures and name everything I see on the page.

Reading Tip: Parents who have trouble getting their little ones go to bed swear by this book. One mom I know reads the book to her son and then walks around his own room saying goodnight to everything in the room. She says her last step is to place her son in his crib, give him a kiss, and have him say goodnight to his little stuffed lamb. Unless he's sick, he always falls asleep shortly after.


What Other Bloggers Are Saying:

Jackie at Literary Escapism: "This is probably the only other book that [my son] will bring to either [my husband] or I to read. We can go through it four or five times before he gets bored with it." (read the rest here)
