Brown, Margaret Wise, Goodnight Moon / Buenas
Noches, Luna, PICTURE BOOK. Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc. 2014.
$8.99.
Margaret Wise Brown’s beloved bedtime story Goodnight Moon
has been re-released as a bilingual version. Each line of this simple yet
mesmerizing story is written first in English, followed by its Spanish
counterpart. Looked over by the “quiet old lady whispering, “hush”, little
rabbit wishes a goodnight to, among others, “three little bears, sitting on
chairs”, “two little kittens, and a pair of mittens”, and finally a goodnight
to “noises everywhere”.
This story is perfect for a bilingual retelling. The story
is simple and the images recognizable to all young readers. Parents wishing to
introduce their children to the Spanish language as well as parents and
teachers wishing to help their Spanish speakers master English, would be wise
to begin with this sleepy rabbit, his green room, and the moon.
