"My son doesn't like it"

My son LOVES books but has no interest in this book - NONE. I probably read 30+ books a day to him. At 12 months he can sit through average length books (e.g. Brown Bear Brown Bear, What Do You See?) and some longer length books (e.g. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom - his favorite). He won't even sit through the first half of this book and it's relatively short. I don't understand what people see in this book. The black & white pages are very dull and the objects that are mentioned in the book are so small I have to look for them. Neither the illustrations nor the wording hold a young child's attention. There are so many other nighttime books that are more appealing to young children. Save your money and space on your bookshelf.

I got this book as a gift when my youngest son was born. Like others, I thought it was a stupid book, but it was simple and he seemed to love it. We would read it over and over. The book disappeared over the years, but my son is now 22 with a daughter of his own on the way, and this book was at the top of his list of most wanted items for her!
This is a wonderful book that should be a part of a child's nightly reading ritual. This book helped me est my son into a ritual of these are the things we do before bed and the last thing is Goodnight Moon and then prayer.
The boy in the story says goodnight to everything, everyone and every inanimate object in his room and when he finishes saying good night to everything he then goes to sleep. The pages are colorfully and the words are small and easy for your little ones to say.
It's a book that every child should have in their collection.

Such a wonderful comfort this book is at any time. I never tired of reading it to my daughter, the countless times we read it together. It is now the book she gives to all of her friends for baby shower gifts.
I wasn't going to write a review after seeing SO many reviews.
However, I noticed in the reviews I did read, they did not mention our favorite thing in the story.
On every page the little mouse is hiding or peeking out from a different spot.
We always looked for the mouse...where is the mouse?
"THERE he is!"
It makes me smile to recall those golden hours with my little girl on my lap, reading this sweet and comforting book.
She is 35 years old now, and hoping for children of her own. Someday she will the pleasure of her own child cuddled on her lap, reading Margaret Wise Brown's forever relevant ode to the ritual of saying goodnight...and building lasting memories for them both.

This book is wonderful. I started reading it to my daughter when she was a baby at bed time, and even though she's 5 now she still pulls it out of the bookshelf at least once a week as part of her nightly reading ritual.
The reason why this book is so beloved by both children and parents is that it helps get them ready for the ritual of going to bed, relaxing their minds and bodies. Who amoung us as parents haven't had our children say good night to everyone and everything, inanimate objects included. The boy in the story as he's going to bed an getting ready to sleep says goodnight to everything he sees in his room and when he is finished he knows that it is time to sleep. When reading this story to your child slowly soften your voice as you turn the pages until you are just whispering at the end. Have your child try to find the mouse on each of the colored pages and say goodnight to some of the objects in their room as they lay down for the night.
It seems the majority of bad reviews for this book are based on the idea that it is not colorful enough or an exciting read. That's sort of the idea. Little eyes and minds get enough stimulation during the day and a lot of it isn't positive or good. This book helps children notice the small details of their surroundings, to use their imagination, all in the process of going to bed.
This is one of the best, if not the best, night time book out there and I would highly recommend to parents with small children.

ok, so we first got this book as a gift @ the hospital. I read it to my baby once, thought it was stupid and never thought about it again. He's two now and LOVES this book. We got him the oversized (lap) version, and he won't put it down. I don't know why kids loves this book so much...Who says "Goodnight Nobody"...?..
Whatever...If he likes it, I love it.
