Good Night Moon

Good Night Moon is predicated on the notion that children imbue their environments with significance. A juvenile rabbit serves as the protagonist of Goodnight Moon. Prior to retiring for the night, he finds it comforting to bid farewell to every object in his room.

Margaret Wise Brown authored countless stories and books throughout her lifetime, but Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny are her most well-known works. Even though she passed away more than four decades and five years ago, her books continue to sell exceptionally well. Margaret was an animal lover. The majority of her works feature animals as protagonists. She enjoyed composing books with a sense of cadence. She would occasionally insert a difficult word into a poem or narrative.
