Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon." And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room--to the picture of the three little bears sitting in chairs, to the clocks and his socks, to the mittens and the kittens, to everything one by one--he says goodnight.

In this classic of modern children's literature, beloved by generations of readers and listeners, the quiet poetry of the words and the gentle, lulling illustrations combine to make a perfect book for the end of the day.

Generations of children have begged to hear this story before bed. Now children can add a new element to their bedtime routine by flipping the tape and listening to the original Goodnight Moon lullaby on the reverse side.In a new, beautifully designed reusable pouch, this wonderful recording of the classic bedtime story and the special bonus of the soothing, original lullaby composed especially for this recording is just right for sleepyheads.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goodnight Moon CD--a perfect companion, April 27, 2008

By	Krista M. Burczyk "Krista" (Arvada, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Goodnight Moon was a part of my prekindergarten class and is now a part of my 9 month old son's bedtime routine. The CD includes a reading of the story and, in my opinion the best part, the story sung as a lullaby. The lullaby is soft, calm and beautiful with guitar adding to the soothing sound. As a teacher, I used this song to transition to our quiet time and as a mother I play this lullaby while feeding my son his oatmeal bedtime snack. We then say good night to several items in his room before going to sleep. The CD is not over the top or cooky, like many children's songs. It is simply a beautiful lyrical version of one of the best bedtime stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Spanish Language Story, May 11, 2009

By	Reader Views "www.readerviews.com" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Goodnight Moon Book and CD (Spanish edition): Buenas noches, Luna libro y CD (Libros Para Mi Bebe) (Paperback)

Reviewed by Cayden (age 4 ½) and Max (age 2 ½) Aures and Mom for Reader Views (5/09)

"Buenas Noches, Luna" is the Spanish translation of "Goodnight Moon."

Cayden: "I like the book `Goodnight Moon.' It was fun to read it and listen to the CD in Spanish. I learned some new Spanish words. I knew what they were saying because I know all of the words to the book `Goodnight Moon.'"

Max: "I liked to turn the page when it made the ringing sound. I can say `Buenas Noches,' that is good night!"

Parent's comments:

My children know the book `Goodnight Moon' by heart. Because of this, "Buenas Noches, Luna" by Margaret Wise Brown is the perfect book for them to read and listen to on CD in order to help them learn a little more Spanish. They know all of the English words, so it is easy for them to understand the Spanish equivalent on each page. I also liked the plastic book and CD case for the set as it helps to ensure that the CD won't get scratched. "Buenas Noches, Luna" would be a great book both for those who want to learn Spanish as a second language and for those who speak Spanish as their primary language.
