A little rabbit who wants to run away tells his mother how he will escape, but she is always right behind him. This 75th anniversary edition includes the original picture book followed by a 32-page retrospective look with lively anecdotes, exclusive photographs, archival material, and an essay by noted children's book historian Leonard S. Marcus.

The bestselling classic story beloved by millions of adults and children for generations is now in a padded board book for the first time. In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon." And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room-to the picture of the three little bears sitting on chairs, to the clocks and his socks, to the mittens and the kittens, to everything one by one-the little bunny...

Upon meeting a dog at a street corner, a cat runs as fast as she can and leads him on a merry chase through kitchens, across tables, over people, and under traffic until finally reaching a safe haven.

Verses describe the holes that a mole, dog, worm, and rabbit dig, but none can compare with the work of a man and his steam shovel.

Until his father brings him some boots, a young lion searches for ways to entertain himself on a rainy day.

A little rabbit who wants to run away tells his mother how he will escape, but she is always right behind him.

Goodnight to each of the objects in the great green room: goodnight chairs, goodnight comb, goodnight air.

A little bunny counts and bids goodnight to all the objects in his room before falling asleep.

Includes Goodnight Moon, faithfully adapted from the original book and featuring a beautiful musical score; A Creature Was Stirring (seen through the eyes of a child, a new adaptation of the classic Christmas poem); and Gladys Goes Out to Lunch (Gladys the gorilla smells something delicious and leaves the zoo to find out what it is). Features sign language vocabulary and alphabet fingerspelling.
