The first book that I had to review without a doubt had to be Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. It was my older son's favorite book when he was a baby and it's becoming Benjamin's favorite as well. This was the first book that I ever read to him and even though he was so young, he really sat intently listening to the words and looking at the illustrations.
We are reading the board book version and it's just the right size for us. It's going to get a lot of wear and it seems to be built to be up for the task.
Goodnight Moon was published in 1947 so it's definitely a timeless classic. It's simple gentle rhymes and colorful contrasting illustrations from Clement Hurd are what make this book stand the test of time. This is a staple for a child's book collection and a go to perfect gift for new baby.
The book alternates from black and white to colorful contrasting colors which include orange, yellow, blue and green.
Without a doubt, my favorite line has always been, "And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush." There is just something about saying goodnight to mush that gets me every time.
