Catching Up...

Who hasn’t read this book? Raise your hand!

This book has been read to my sons, my grandkids, available in my Little Free Library Shed, oh my…

And yet…

What is this story really about?

It tells the story of a rabbit getting ready for bed. Goodnight to the toy house, a young mouse, “a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush and a quiet old lady who is whispering ‘hush.’”

Of course, the quiet old lady looks like a very mature bunny, sitting in a yellow rocking chair, knitting away, while the little guy makes his rounds, saying goodbye to all these things in his room, alone in his bed, looking so very serious.

And then…

The old lady leaves.

And…

He is all alone.

“Good night stars and good night air. Good night noises everywhere.”

Goodnight moon.

An opportunity for peace and calm before bedtime, for kids. What every kid needs, to learn that they are safe and secure in their bed, knowing their parents (or grandparents) are right there outside their door if they need them.

And all those things that are important to those kids…

And…

Surround them in their rooms…

Are right there…still when they wake up.

Wonderful read-along for young ages.

Lastly...

This book is timeless.
