This is a classic children’s bedtime or anytime book that every child should have. When I was working in an independent children’s bookstore in Maryland, we even had teens come into the store to buy Goodnight Moon accessories to use for decorating their dorm rooms as they went away to college. That’s how reassuring this simple, warm, just plain lovely bedtime story is. So, what’s so magical about it? Well, it’s a cozy, gentle bidding goodnight to all the familiar items in the child’s room that just blankets a child with security and a sense of goodness in the world.
