Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Good Night Moon goes global in this lovely ode to the world...Children will love poring over the lush pictures in this gentle nighttime lullaby."
–School Library Journal"Perlman's...couplets put a particular emphasis on color...as the book moves from celestial to earthly realms. With an amalgam of textures, batiklike patterns, and images within images, Fisher's...pictures offer somewhat abstracted visions of familiar motifs--planets in the sky, breaking waves, animals in their habitats."

"There is much to see and think about in the illustrations for this simple bedtime rhyme. Fittingly, the text concludes with a list of ways to say goodnight in 16 languages, written in appropriate scripts and including pronunciations. A sweet dream, indeed."

"Splendid pictures that navigate the earth as night arrives and a small blond-haired child’s sweet wonder at the imagined journey raise this offering above most going-to-bed books.... By the time the child curls up in an earth-blue ball filled with the shadowy outlined shapes of the animals encountered in the good-night litany, listeners will be ready for their own sweet dreams.... This is a beautiful addition to a traditional picturebook topic."
