Overview

In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon."

In this classic of modern children's literature, beloved by generations of readers and listeners, the quiet poetry of the words and the gentle, lulling illustrations combine to make a perfect book for the end of the day.
