Goodnight songs
Margaret Wise Brown
- Reading
- Try one song at a time, pairing the printed words with the CD if useful; let your child linger over an illustration or simply listen.
- Themes
- Seasonal nature imagery: The songs range across the year and use nature scenes, including a May morning and snowfall. The collection presents nature through seasonal song and imagery, rather than through an identified factual or instructional approach.
- Worth knowing
- The lullaby form and musical recordings make this a song-centred bedtime choice; whether the music suits your household’s bedtime routine is a practical consideration.
