Believe it or not, I just read
Goodnight Moon for the first time the other day. I was babysitting, and it was the book that the kid picked out. Why I had never read it, I can't say. I know it's a classic, but it has never appealed to me, same with
Runaway Bunny. I'm pretty sure it's the art. It just does not do it for me. Which is too bad really, because the words are lovely. The sentiment, the cadence- that I can really get behind. But the art...it just looks weirdly diabolical.
Well, I am pleased to report that I clearly am not the only person who feels this way. There is a hilarious, genius of a blogger over at
The Ugly Volvo who has really taken
Goodnight Moon to task. Give it a read. I promise it will brighten your day.
