Goodnight Moon

Norah enjoys picking out books for us to read to her at bedtime.  There was a period when she consistently chose There’s a Wocket in my Pocket  and she also went through a Mama Do You Love Me? phase and while she still comes back to group of core favorites it isn’t noteworthy if they aren’t chosen either.  I’m starting to doubt whether there will ever be a day that we don’t read Goodnight Moon.  She never fails to reach for it and usually we read it several times.  She is paying close attention too because she points out the “young mouse” on every colored page in the book.  If you have copy – I challenge you to find the mouse.  I think you’ll be impressed with Norah’s careful eye.  Another little detail you may have missed is the large painting on the left side of the great green room.  It is a scene from from another treasured Brown/Hurd story.  These are very literate bunnies and they even have a copy of the same book on the book shelf as well as their own copy of Goodnight Moon on the nightstand.
