Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown

POETRY PICTURE BOOK

The first thing that struck me about this book was the very simple, effective, and fun to read rhyming scheme. The book is perfect for younger readers, and is extremely enjoyable and easy to read. The story line is very simple: a bunny is saying goodnight to a number of objects and things. The illustrations have a very soft, washed over appearance that work perfectly for this pre-bedtime story. I remember reading this book when I was a young child, and it is one of the first books that I can recall reading or having been read to me. This book is perfect for younger readers, and works excellently as a story for a child to read before bedtime.
