Customer Reviews

Worst purchase ever.

Thanks to coronavirus I bought the fit in your pocket sized set of books for 16.01. You are kidding me. This is ridiculous. I wouldn't have been paid $4.00 for something this small.

Over the Moon

This book is a constant in our family. Every child has had one and will not part with it. So we must go out and buy each child his/her own! I recommend it for all children as a perfect bedtime story.

An indespensible bit of childhood.

"Goodnight Moon": I adore this book. I love the simplicity of it, the art of it. It is just a lovely send-off for bedtime. I buy this for every new mother I know. "The Runaway Bunny": Simply a beautiful story of a child's imagining running away, and a mother's reassurance that she would always come after him. Not in a sappy, weepy way (although I do admit to tearing up a few times when I've read it), but just a loving way to reassure your little bunny that no matter how far they go, you are always there for them. "My World": I've not yet read this one, but you can believe I will before I give this collection to my friend, expecting her first little one next month. A great Shower Gift!!

A book every child should have!

Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny are two books that every child should have read to them. I had both read to me as a child and thus they are two of my favorites. I kind of liked having them as separate books, but having them together in one book is okay too. A great baby/children's gift.

Goodnight noises everywhere...

I absolutely love reading this book to my daughter. I've read it so many times, I practically have it memorized. I had never heard of My World which is the last story featured in the collection, and I wasn't too impressed with it as I was Goodnight moon and Runaway Bunny. But oh well, for the price I believe its a pretty good deal.

Three Books in One

Over the Moon is a collection of three books in one. Goodnight Moon, The Runaway Bunny and My World are all written by late children's book author Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by late artist Clement Hurd. Goodnight Moon is celebrating its 60th anniversary. A sweet little bunny tells everything in his room goodnight as he settles in for the night. A red balloon. Kittens. Mittens. A comb. A brush. The bunny describes his room and wishes all of his daytime play things goodnight. The illustrations also describe the room, giving parents the perfect opportunity to show each item to their children as they read. The Runaway Bunny features a boy bunny who wants to run away from home. He describes all of the many adventures he will take to leave the comfort of his home and mommy. But mommy bunny isn't about to let her baby boy run away. She describes the many adventures she will take to bring her bunny boy back home. My World is a fun story full of rhymes. Comparisons like mother's chair versus my chair show big differences in adult sizes and child sizes. All stories are perfect bedtime tales for parents reading to young children. They're also good starter stories for children learning how to read.
