Customer Reviews

Goodnight light and the red balloon..... Fabulous bedtime books!
Again- what's not to love with these? You really cannot go wrong! Stock your favorite child up with these fun classic books- read to them every night! We love them, our kindergarten teacher reads them to the class as well!

Two classics
Although the other reviewer's 15-month-old did not care for "The Runaway Bunny," our experience with these two fine books was very positive. We would read regularly to each of our three girls from infancy. The interplay between the illustrations in the two books became a topic of conversation as they learned to talk. These and other Margaret Wise Brown books (such as The Big Red Barn and Red Light Green Light) were favorites.

Love Good night Moon
My 15 month old loves Good Night moon and brings it to me to read over and over(He really loves the illustrations and repeatedly points at the red balloon). He doesn't like the runaway bunny -- he won't sit still to listen to the story. I recommend Good Night Moon highly but not the runnaway bunny.
