On the page in Goodnight Moon where the mouse is peeking out from behind the bowl full of mush, our 3-year old has started shouting at it "NO NO YOUNG MOUSE, GET AWAY FROM MY MUSH!!!" Makes me laugh every time.
- bkandel 5y agoI love the book, but honestly who sleeps with a bowl of oatmeal on their nightstand?! Never understood that.
- thanatos519 5y agoWho says "Goodnight nobody?"
- fortylove 5y agoBut what's the meaning behind "goodnight noises everywhere"?
- navbaker 5y agoI’ve wondered that for a while, especially combined with the previous pages saying “goodnight stars, goodnight air”
- bob_roberts 5y agoI love that part, and also "goodnight nobody" - the book starts out being very concrete (saying good night to all the things in the room) then expands out to encompass everything and nothing. It feels at once poetic and childlike.
- kenjackson 5y agoWhile Goodnight Moon is everyone's favorite, there is something about "The Little Island" by Margaret Wise Brown that captured me as a parent. I loved reading this story out loud. The writing is poetic and flows off the tongue. The story has some nuance, that to this day I'm still not sure I fully grasp. This is my favorite book to give as a gift to new parents.
