The rule of this book is that the reader must read this book with no pictures and say every word within, no matter how silly or nonsensical–words like Badooongy face–and even sing a silly song.
Such silliness!

This was a sweet story!

It is bedtime in the great green room and a young bunny says goodnight to all his or her favorite objects before he or she can go to sleep and all the while an old woman in a rocker is whispering “hush.”
This is a story I adore. Why? I don’t know, but it is soothing to me.

My son loves this book, to the point where I pretty much have every word memorized. (It takes an awful lot of repetition for me to memorize anything!)
