There is no other book more closely associated with bedtime in children's literature than Goodnight Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd, which is why it is our first choice for our Bedtime Book Series. In today's episode, we talk about why Goodnight Moon isn't just an academic favorite, but how this weird little book is actually quietly revolutionary and appeals to the interests and needs of even the smallest children. What's more, we discuss how Goodnight Moon benefits your child's cognitive and emotional development, in addition to helping him actually go the you-know-what to sleep, which is the ultimate and noble goal of all bedtime books!
