Goodnight Moon
Book • 1947
Goodnight Moon is a timeless children's book written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd.
The story follows a young bunny as it prepares for bed, saying goodnight to all the objects in its green-walled bedroom.
The book features a rhyming poem and detailed illustrations that capture the bunny's bedtime ritual, gradually transitioning from a lit room to a darkened one as the moon glows outside.
The narrative is simple yet effective, creating a cozy and rhythmic bedtime journey that has delighted children and parents alike for generations.
The book is notable for its focus on the minutiae of a child's surroundings and its ability to induce a sense of comfort and security.
