Goodnight MoonThis book is one of the favorite bedtime stories for generations since it was first published in 1947.

There must be something magical about this book and the way children love it." Another parent wrote: "Why I hate Goodnight Moon? Because my kids would not stop asking me to read it over and over again!" Goodnight Moon is one of the best-selling books of all time with more than 16 million copies sold. Here is the full text of the book: Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown In the great green room
There was a telephone
And a red balloon And a picture of -
The cow jumping over the moon And there were three little bears sitting on chairs And two little kittens
And a pair of mittens And a little toy house
And a young mouse And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush
And a quiet old lady who was whispering "hush" Goodnight room
Goodnight moon Goodnight cow jumping over the moon Goodnight light
And the red balloon Goodnight bears
Goodnight chairs Goodnight kittens
And goodnight mittens Goodnight clocks
And goodnight socks Goodnight little house
And goodnight mouse Goodnight comb
And goodnight brush Goodnight nobody Goodnight mush
And goodnight to the old lady whispering "hush" Goodnight stars Goodnight air
