Goodnight Moon - Discuss

[nigelslaterfan]

Along with The Tiger Who Came To Tea (see other thread) dd loves this book with an extraordinary passion and we have to read it to her endlessly and I know it off by heart.

So Why 'Goodnight nobody'?
Why Goodnight Air?

Who is in the little house with the lights on? Is it the Old Lady shrunken to a tiny size?

What does it all mean?

What is the mush?

Why does the child have a telephone?

What is being subjugated here?

I don't know but Christopher Walken scares the shit out of me.

[nigelslaterfan]

i know, it's creepy but i love it!

can only suggest it's cos it's really quite old.

would like "Goodnight air" to be my last words though!

[porcamiseria]

[theory]
