Summary of Goodnight Moon
Goodnight Moon is a children’s picture book by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Clement Hurd. The story pivots on a little bunny preparing to go to bed in his room, colored green. Before the bunny went to sleep, he said goodnight to everything in his surroundings: the red balloon, three little bears who sit on chairs, the quiet old lady who says to the bunny ‘hush,’ among other things. The book follows the rhyme and repetition pattern. In that respect, it makes it suitable for reading during bedtime. It’s a build-up into the story’s lullaby, bidding goodnight to everything around him, even out to the moon and stars (Brown and Hurd 15). The melodic flow pushes the readers into dreamland, each repetition an assuring refrain that echoes through the pages.
