Welcome to Litsy!

4 ⭐Jane Yolen is a master storyteller. Along with the illustrator in less than 20 words, they can have a book from beginning to end. It‘s a perfect book for bedtime for that last push right before sleep.

“Goodnight room. Goodnight moon. Goodnight cow jumping over the moon.“

In Goodnight Moon, a little bunny says goodnight to the familiar objects in his room, from the moon to the quiet old lady whispering “hush.“ With soothing rhythm and gentle illustrations, this beloved bedtime classic creates a peaceful atmosphere, making it the perfect story to help children wind down and settle in for a restful night.

Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown is a timeless children's classic that offers a calming bedtime experience. Through simple, repetitive text and soothing illustrations, it portrays a bunny saying goodnight to objects in its room, fostering a sense of security and comfort. The book‘s gentle tone promotes peace, rest, and the comforting routine of bedtime.

This book will be very useful in the beginning of the year as a lesson to help younger students learn the importance of raising their hand and not shouting out. I also think the teacher can get very creative with lesson planning to help get the point across.

“ goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere.”

I would use this book as an introduction to rhyming as it is an easy to read poem book.

Today (November, 7) is International Inuit Day, a holiday established by the Inuit Circumpolar Council representing First Nations people living in Alaska, #Canada, Greenland and Chukotka.

Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, 1947 is a very enjoyable poetry book that is all about saying goodnight to all of the things inside the house in the story. The rhymes blend well together and the repetition is very comforting. I think young children would love having this story read to them by a teacher or family member!

This is another wonderful pick to read as a bedtime story! It is soft and soothing with simple rhymes and a beautiful form of poetry.
