Good Night Moon

Good Night Moon by Margaret Wise

This is very good bed time story. The story is very easy to read. The story takes place at night in a rabbit’s bedroom. Before he goes to bed he say goodnight to all the objects in the room and outside his window. The rabbit’s room is very eye catching and colorful with lots of details on each page. The story is actually mentioning everything in the room. The first page says:

My Impression
The next page is a beautiful colorful picture with all the things the rabbit start to name in his room. He then says good night to the room and things inside and outside of the room before he goes to sleep.
This is a great bedtime story. It is that kind of book that put you in the mood for bed. I can remember growing up and hearing the Walton’s on the TV show say goodnight to everyone. This book really reminded me of the Walton’s. Good night John boy, only in this story it is Good night Moon. I love this book because it is short and easy to read. I recommend it for the young and the old.


As a lesson I will use this book to teach a match and identify lesson. Students will select a picture from a group of cards to match the items in the bedroom. (example – picture of the lamp in the book-student will locate a picture of a lamp, comb, brush, etc), this is great for Life Skills students
