I have read Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. This was my all-time favorite children's picture book when I was a child. I made my parents read the story to me every night. I believe the most interesting part of the book was not the story itself, but it was the illustrations. The illustrator, Clement Herd, won several awards for the beautiful scenes found on every page of the bedtime story.

The basic storyline of the book points out the various objects in the child's bedroom, and then says goodnight to each of the objects previously pointed out. As a child, I thoroughly enjoyed pointing out each of the mentioned objects (often hidden in the complex scenes). The clock in the bedroom progressively becomes later and later as the story goes on, and a mouse appears in each of the pictures. The whole story can be found at http://www.geocities.com/burgerzking/moon.html, but this site only gives the story, and none of the beautiful pictures can be seen with the words.
