Goodnight
Moon
by Margaret Wise Brown, Clement Hurd (Illustrator)
Perhaps the perfect children's bedtime book, Goodnight Moon is a short
poem of goodnight wishes from a young rabbit preparing for--or attempting
to postpone--his own slumber. He says goodnight to every object in sight
and within earshot, including the "quiet old lady whispering hush." Clement
Hurd's illustrations are simple and effective, alternating between small
ink drawings and wide, brightly colored views of the little rabbit's room.
Finding all of the items mentioned throughout the book within the pictures
is a good bedtime activity--a reappearing little mouse is particularly
pesky. By the end of the little rabbit's goodnight poem, the story has
quieted to a whisper, and the drawings have darkened with nightfall. As
you turn the last page, you can expect a sleepy smile and at least a yawn
or two. Amazon.com

The
Going to Bed Book (Boynton, Sandra. Boynton Board Books.)
by Sandra Boynton
For a little one who is reluctant to go to bed, sometimes a silly book
is just the ticket. And when it comes to silly books, Sandra Boynton is
the undisputed queen. In The Going to Bed Book, an ark full of animals
watches the sun go down and then prepares for bed. They take a bath ("in
one big tub"), find pajamas, brush their teeth, do exercises up on deck
(imagine an elephant jumping rope, a moose lifting weights, and a pig doing
handstands), and finally say good night.
The moon is high.
The sea is deep.
They rock
and rock
and rock
to sleep.
Boynton's inimitable animal characters have graced the pages of scads of
picture books over the years. She has an extraordinary knack for knowing
what appeals to small children: simple rhymes, goofy animals in goofy settings,
and sweet, comforting stories. This book, along with her many other board-book
titles (Moo, Baa, La La La!, But Not the Hippopotamus, and others) will
surely remain a favorite. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter - Amazon.com
