Age Group:	0 to 4 years
Book Format:	Board Book
Annotation:	A Spanish version of “Good Night, Moon”; with the same illustrations as the English version providing a wonderful bed time story to read with children 0 to 4 years of age.
Personal Reaction:	The entire theme is about little rabbit saying good night to all the objects in his room and outside the window.  The association to the items and the words for each helps the reader to increase his/her vocabulary. This is a wonderful version for Spanish speaking people which in this reviewer’s opinion could prove to be a better book if both languages were displayed on the pages; thus, exposing children and adults to both languages.
