Goodnight Moon 123 Lap Edition

From kittens to cows to bowls of mush, the familiar images from his father's illustrations in Goodnight Moon inspired Thacher Hurd to create Goodnight Moon 123.

The same comforting images find new expression in this counting companion to the classic bedtime book, now available in a lap edition meant for sharing.

And don't miss a second sweet companion concept book, Goodnight Moon ABC
