Anniversary Review

Can you believe that the book that has been read and loved by generations is now 50?

The 50th Anniversary Edition is a cloth edition and includes the original book along with a retrospective... the story behind the story.

"Goodnight Moon" will remain a classic charming warm and wonderful way to quiet a child at bedtime. A child follows along with the little rabbit and says goodnight to the day and everything around them.

"In the great green room, there was a telephone and a red balloon, and a picture of the cow jumping over the moon..."

A child no longer wants to stall bedtime when "Goodnight Moon" awaits them. An excellent time to spend with your child, to soothe away the day and go off to dreamland.

"Goodnight stars.
Goodnight air.
Goodnight noises everywhere."

Margaret Wise Brown, Author
Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher (Illustrators)

This never before published book from Margaret Wise Brown contains an important message about the creativity of our children often suppressed by adults.

Robin paints pictures on the doors and windows, paints flowers in the bathtub, hides his toys under the rug, puts sand-filled sneakers in his mother's bed, ties mice to chairs and even saws off the legs of the chairs. In other words, his parents feel that he is destroying the house. "What will we ever do with this child?" His parents cried. "He is underfoot, overhead, in our hair, and all over the place." When they decide to give Robin his own (rather dull) room, he stomps his feet and says, "Give me three carpenters, please."

Creativity is an attitude of self expression, individuality and a child's uniqueness. Robin, with the help of the carpenters, creates "A child's room made by a child."

Robin's Room is a colorful and brilliantly illustrated message about not coloring (our lives) within the lines or encouraging conformity.

Peter wants a pet pig. Says Peter's mother, "You want a dirty little bad little pig? Peter replies, "No, I want a good little bad little pig."

The Good Little Bad Little Pig is a book full of surprises and most of all a message of unconditional love and reassurance... because sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad.
