I bought this set when my baby was 3 months old. We started reading him Goodnight Moon every night as part of his settling routine - we thought it was just a nice, short, repetitive little bedtime book that could be read in about 4 minutes. Well, it's turned out to be so much more than that. Our son is now almost 2 and he still has Goodnight Moon as the last story of the night, every night. He loves hearing the little bunny saying Goodnight to everything in his room, a routine we also perform as part of our bedtime wind down. He still laughs at "Goodnight Nobody" and we still enjoy reading it. Thats a tough call for a book we've read about 1500 times. He has a second copy for his bookcase because he loves this story so much that he pulls it out to read most days (and we are more than a little afraid of the precious bedtime book being lost!) It is such an integral part of his sleep routine that it is the first thing we pack to take on holidays. This book has given us a lot of pleasure, and has played a big part in a wonderful sleep routine.
He began a love affair with Big Red Barn at about 14 months and it remains a strong favourite - often on his bedtime reading choices. The wonderful poetry is a joy to read aloud and we all know it by heart. He loves the animal noises (espescially the rooster), counting the eggs under the hen and whispering so as not to wake the animals who are sound asleep in the bed red barn. I love reading him this book. My favourite.
The Runaway Bunny was a hit for a short while when he was about 12 months old - probably because I did a funny voice for the little bunny. It fell out of favour as the text was too long for a younger baby. For the last few weeks though, this has re-emerged as THE book. The one he hunts for in his bookcase. The one he runs up the hall and thrusts into my hands before plopping into my lap, bright eyed and waiting. He loves to point out the baby bunny hiding in the crocus, help the mother blow her sailboat bunny across the water and to swing his arms like he's flying on a flying trapeze. He waits gleefully for the mother (and me) to catch her little bunny in her arms and give him a big hug - surely a big cuddle must be the best ending for any toddler reading session?
This set has been a real trasure. I read Goodnight Moon as a child but has not encountered the other 2. Discovering them has given us all a lot of pleasure. Each has become a real and lasting favourite - these books never inspire the "PLEASE not again. I'll go quite MAD" response. A wonderful new baby gift, or present for grandparents who love to share the joy of reading with their grandchildren.
