Goodnight Moon is probably one of the first books I thought of and bought when I started to get books for my oldest daughter as an infant. We bought a boardbook and now, less than thrree years later it is in pretty rough shape. It is a favorite. We even as big sister gifts and for "school" now at 2 1/2 got her [b:Goodnight Moon 123: A Counting Book|32936|Goodnight Moon 123 A Counting Book|Margaret Wise Brown|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1168407092s/32936.jpg|33054] and [b:Goodnight Moon ABC: An Alphabet Book|8295985|Goodnight Moon ABC An Alphabet Book|Margaret Wise Brown|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348257233s/8295985.jpg|13144602].

Tonight when we started to explore in our new HarperCollins Treasury of Picture Book Classics and she Goodnight Moon was an option it was an instant request.

The yellow, orange, red and brilliant green are never colors I would have picked but they work so well with this book. The alternating grey pages add a character and conversation piece too. From finding the mouse on each page to relating to "her mittens" or something else familiar this little book finds its way as being a friend. Well known and dear. I wonder how many copies will we end up going through before childhood is at sn end.

This is a must read for all kids! It was that one book that I read over and over and over again. We've had so many copies of this book, and both my parents were thoroughly sick of it by the time I made it to kindergarten! We get this book for every baby shower gift!
