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 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 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
goodnight noises everywhere.
Goodnight Moon is an American children's book written
by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd.
It was first published in 1947.
All of my children know that book by heart as do I. Your picture is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI remember the book "Goodnight Moon", but don't remember it being read to me as a child. Great picture.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great week.
I had a little hard book that I used to read to the kids all the time -- still have it. Great book for the little ones. Joni
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Sue!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture, Sue!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter {who is 19 now} still has the plaque over her bed that reads:
I see the moon
and the moon sees me
God bless the moon
and God bless me.
I love it!
Thanks for this special post!

Oh this brought back memories.....
ReplyDeleteI need to go find our copy and read it one more time out loud to my kiddos...before they all walk out the door!
Love this post...thank you!
It has been a while since I heard that :0
ReplyDeleteI did my first Outdoor Wednesday post!
The moon was a pretty crescent this morning. Good morning, Moon. La
ReplyDeleteHi! I came from Relyn's blog- when I saw your comment on her Election Day post- I just knew I had to stop by. I am from Illinois too and could not bring myself to vote as well. What a shambles our state is in and there was not even a better choice to choose from. And I am a teacher too so what all this has done for education is just horrible. Anyway- just had to share. And by the way- love your blog-- so many good things going on! Where in IL do you live? I'm in the south suburbs of Chicago. Have a wonderful day and stop by if you ever get a chance...

That is one of my favorites, Sue, and your moon shot is perfect with it. Thanks for this. I needed to hear it today.

Oh, how I miss reading this book to my girls. It seems so sad that they are too old to actually read the book to them each night. Reading the words right now brings me back to that sweet time and place in my life that I will forever treasure. Thanks for that warm feeling, you must have known I needed a far away hug from Someones BFF!
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Miss You
Your photos and words are so lovely. I especially like the poem.
ReplyDeleteThat was one of my daughter's favorite books, kept safely in the attic for when she has children of her own.
ReplyDeletelove thta book, came across you through another blogger's list, love the tree topper tutorial, I am so going to try that this year
ReplyDeleteHelen
It was always a favorite at my house too. Isn't it amazing how such a simple book can captivate so many? I have since seen nurseries done in this theme.
ReplyDeleteLovely post.

Hey Sue,
ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking of you this morning when I was reminded of that little Gather incident a while back. I remember not knowing if I could trust you, but I know you so much better now, after all this time.
R u gone? Did u tell me? Did I forget?
ReplyDeleteR u ok?
Haven't read that poem in years. Love the photograph.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem and I like the year it came out...Christine
ReplyDeleteI love that book.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of moon! You should frame it, even if you only put it out as a Halloween decoration next year!
ReplyDeleteBest regards,
Gloria
