This attractive, classic tale that has delighted children for generations is the perfect book to read before bedtime.
Margaret Wise Brown (1910 - 1952) was an American author of many
popular tales for children, but is best known for her stories
Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny.
Clement Hurd (1908 - 1988) studied art in Paris and worked as a
freelance decorative artist in New York before becoming a
children's book illustrator. Best known for Goodnight Moon, he
later created on many beautiful books with his wife Edith Thacher
Hurd.
The sound of the words, the ideas they convey and the pictures
combine to lull and reassure
*The New York Times*
Rhythmic, gently lulling words combined with warm and equally
lulling pictures make this beloved classic an ideal bedtime
book
*Christian Science Monitor*
The words are like an incantation, a spell - intoxicating for
children and mercifully unannoying for parents, even on the
hundredth reading. To hear the opening line of Margaret Wise
Brown’s Goodnight Moon - “In the great green room” - is to embark
on a Proustian reverie about a calm place with the lights turned
low and a child snuggling sleepily in your arms. It seems as
complete as a children’s book can be.
*The New York Times*
It is inconceivable that the last line – “goodnight noises
anywhere” could be uttered in anything but a whisper, by which
point eyes are drooping and the Land of Nod beckons.
*Evening Standard - The best timeless story books for young
children*
One of the world’s favourite bedtime books, perfect for soothing
small children to sleep
