About the author
Margaret Wise Brown
393 books1,210 followersMargaret Wise Brown wrote hundreds of books and stories during her life, but she is best known for Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. Even though she died nearly 70 years ago, her books still sell very well.
Margaret loved animals. Most of her books have animals as characters in the story. She liked to write books that had a rhythm to them. Sometimes she would put a hard word into the story or poem. She thought this made children think harder when they are reading.
She wrote all the time. There are many scraps of paper where she quickly wrote down a story idea or a poem. She said she dreamed stories and then had to write them down in the morning before she forgot them.
She tried to write the way children wanted to hear a story, which often isn't the same way an adult would tell a story. She also taught illustrators to draw the way a child saw things. One time she gave two puppies to someone who was going to draw a book with that kind of dog. The illustrator painted many pictures one day and then fell asleep. When he woke up, the papers he painted on were bare. The puppies had licked all the paint off the paper.
Margaret died after surgery for a bursting appendix while in France. She had many friends who still miss her. They say she was a creative genius who made a room come to life with her excitement. Margaret saw herself as something else - a writer of songs and nonsense.

So yes and indeed, since Goodnight Moon 1 2 3: A Counting Book has not actually been penned by Margaret Wise Brown but is obviously just loosely (and anonymously) based on her classic Goodnight Moon, I do kind of think that having Margaret Wise Brown even listed as the author of Goodnight Moon 1 2 3: A Counting Book is in fact a trifle misleading, because she is of course not this, she is not the author.
And considering that the anonymously presented text of Goodnight Moon 1 2 3: A Counting Book is (at least in my humble opinion) not all that verbally poetic anyhow and does really present the numbers from one to ten very much simplistically, unimaginatively and without any of Margaret Wise Brown’s Goodnight Moon magic, I for one also do not think that Margaret Wise Brown would more than likely be all that happy having her name associated with Goodnight Moon 1 2 3: A Counting Book (and of course, there is no way to even ask Margaret Wise Brown this, as she died in 1952 and Goodnight Moon 1 2 3: A Counting Book was published in 2007). So yes and for me, the only place where in Goodnight Moon 1 2 3: A Counting Book is in fact absolutely akin to Goodnight Moon are with regard to Clement Hurd’s illustrations, as no, the loosely adapted text is not at all the same type of reading magic as appears in Goodnight Moon and does not really pay sufficient textual homage to Brown’s work either (and while Goodnight Moon 1 2 3: A Counting Book does I guess successfully enough feature numbers and counting, personally, I totally find this book, I totally consider Goodnight Moon 1 2 3: A Counting Book lacking in any and all lyricism, charm and not at all celebratory of Margaret Wise Brown).

Part of the Over the Moon children's picture book series and revolving around Bunny with an emphasis on counting the creatures and objects found in
Goodnight Moon
, 2.
My Take
Perfect for the parent who wants to introduce their young ones to the concept of counting. And a major reason why you can stretch this book out as easily as Goodnight Moon .
It's an easy book to write, as Wise and Hurd are counting and not telling a story.
The first page spread begins with one…Mama Bunny knitting in her elaborate yellow rocker. It progresses on to "two little kittens" and "three little bears" with clean pages and lots of white space. It's perfect for focusing young minds on the topic of that particular page, giving parents the opportunity to discuss each page.
Those naughty kittens with Mama's ball of yarn. Those grumpy three bears…and, hmmm, what story do they remind your little one of?
As I progressed through to the "ten little houses", I realized I was singing along to "The Twelves Days of Christmas", lol. With a HUGE surprise at the end. I was not expecting that jump!
Surprisingly, Bunny doesn't take part except in a cameo!
The Cover and Title
The cover is a deep royal blue night sky with a huge full moon over which the yellow cow is jumping. The black-and-white kittens, the red baloon, and Mama Bunny knitting in her rocker are all on the cover. The title and author's and illustrator's names are in yellow; the title is spread across the top of the title, and the names are in a coral band at the bottom of the cover. The 1 2 3 are in coral, green, and blue against that white moon.
The title is to the point, for it's a counting book in Goodnight Moon 1 2 3.

Well well well! A counting book. There isn't so much to say about those. I did enjoy it. The illustrations are very classic, this is an old book, but I like the style and it help kids learn to count. Not sure I get why this is consider a "classic" because even if good, it doesn't outstand the mass that much...

I like this book because it teaches children how to count and recognize numbers. In the book on every page, there are many different shapes, colors, and animals that children can recognize from ages two and up. This book is diverse when it comes to the many different animals, items, and objects. Children will relate to this book because it's really a bedtime story which is the character is sleeping at the end.

Part of my children's literature reading project.
A spin-off of the super-famous original. Margaret Wise Brown is credited as author, but I'm not sure she was the actual author of this. It's just a counting to ten book. (Plus allegedly 100 stars on the inside back cover.)
I reserved this by mistake from the library, thinking it was the original which I've never seen myself, as popular as it is. Obviously Goodnight Moon is a must-read for anyone who wants to claim familiarity with a substantial body of children's literature, so I'll get it later.

As counting books go, I guess it is okay. It's very simple and if a child is deeply in love with Goodnight Moon, they'll probably like this one, but there are prettier and more interesting counting books out there. :) I did enjoy the bilingual nature of this one. It's a good way to introduce a kid to English or Spanish.
February 22, 2019
I never understood the appeal of the original Goodnight Moon. I think it actually works better as a counting book. Includes one through ten, and then 100. Simple and straightforward.

GOODNIGHT, MOON 123 / BUENAS NOCHES, LUNA 123 is a fun counting book themed from the bedtime favorite, GOODNIGHT MOON. The book is in both Spanish and English for bilingual learning. The counting includes many different types of objects, from bears to telephones to balloons. The counting goes from one to ten and then goes to a hundred. The book is pretty simple in concept and illustrations, making this better suited for early learners.
What I loved: This book is pretty simple, but it has extra appeal in that it is in both Spanish and English. The text is easy to read, and the illustrations contain countable items. The theme is fun for fans of GOODNIGHT, MOON.
Final verdict: Simple counting fun, this book offers a new counting option in the vein of GOODNIGHT, MOON. The bilingual text adds some extra interest. This picture book would be ideal for the youngest of readers who are learning simple numbers.
Please note that I received a review copy. All opinions are my own.

My son can count to 10 right now, and he enjoyed this mashup of familiar images from Goodnight Moon with numbers. I liked how the ending of this picture book mirrors the end of Goodnight Moon.

A count to 10 book, created by the original illustrator’s son, filled with familiar objects to count from the classic bedtime book.

Spike loved it. In the past I was a bit of a snob about spinoffs -- they seemed gimmicky. But I've softened up after seeing him delight in this book.

Some folks love counting books.
Some folks love "Goodnight Moon."
Especially if both of these loves are yours, this could become your very favorite "Goodnight Moon" book of all.

February 9, 2017Title: Goodnight Moon 123: A Counting Book
Author: Margaret Wise Brown
Illustrator: Clement Hurd
Genre: Picture book
Theme: Counting
Opening Line/sentence: “One quiet old lady whispering hush”
Brief book summary:
Goodnight Moon 123: A Counting Book goes through numbers 1-10 with different themes for each number. It concludes by jumping from 10 to 100 stars.
Professional review #1:
Phyllis Kennemer, Ph.D. (Children's Literature)
Thacher Hurd has used the marvels of technology to transfer his father s drawings into a counting book. The first three numbers coincide with the actual numbers in Brown s story, albeit not in order. One quiet old lady whispering hush, two little kittens, and three bears sitting on chairs. Then things get a bit silly. There are four cows jumping over the moon, five telephones, six bowls of mush, seven socks, eight mittens, nine red balloons, and ten toy houses. A double-page spread features one hundred stars. This is followed by a page of original text facing an original illustration. Some pages feature images on dark colors, while others have items standing out against white backgrounds. The best part of the book is the opening and closing endpapers, which show a reproduction of the entire room with the lamp lit and the same scene with the lamp turned off. (Both taken directly from the original book.) The audience for this book is not clear. Children who know and love Browns book will be disappointed not to find the mouse throughout. Seeing multiple images of items that appear singly or in pairs in the original book can be a bit disconcerting. A question arises: Just because something is technically possible, does that make it desirable? Based on the book by Margaret Wise Brown. 2008, HarperCollins, $16.99. Ages 1 to 4.

Brown, Margaret Wise Goodnight Moon 123: A Counting Book 30 pp. HarperFestival 2013. ISBN 978-0-06-224405-5 (4) PS Illustrated by Clement Hurd. New ed., 2007. This counting book lifts parts of Brown's writing and fragments from Hurd's illustrations to demonstrate numbers one through ten and one hundred. Some pages use figures and text in a way that makes sense ("One quiet old lady whispering hush"; "Three little bears sitting on chairs"), while others are arbitrary ("Five telephones"; "Six bowls of mush"). The smaller size of this board book edition doesn't detract from the layout. Preschool; Concept books--Counting books; Board books; Bedtime.
Response to two professional reviews:
I agree with these two reviews of this book, Goodnight Moon 123: A Counting Book. When I first saw the title to, I thought that it would be almost identical to the original Goodnight Moon book and was just as surprised as Phyllis Kennemer that it was not. I did agree that I really liked that they kept some of the same characters and settings in it as well.
Evaluation of Literary Elements:
I really liked that the book did not stray from its theme of counting. Sometimes counting books can get muddled with a deeper plot line and it distracts the reader from the intention of the book. The pictures were simple and made it easy to count them and see that they coincided with the number on the page.
Consideration of Instruction Application:
I believe that this book would be good for a preschool and kindergarten classroom. It is simple and shows children examples of 1-10 while connecting the numbers to pictures and simple sentences. For preschool children, they could be read the book by the teacher and then on their own could go through and look at the pictures and number of items on each page. In the kindergarten classroom, the teacher could also read to the class but they go further with it and create an activity for the students to do with it to promote learning their numbers.

Response to Two Professional Reviews: I agree with both the professional reviews of this book. I did not read the original Goodnight Moon before this project, but I completely agree with Phyllis Kenemer that this story should have all the same characters seen in the famous original book. I think this book is very random at some points like the six bowls of mush and the five telephones. I think the book would be much more effective with early childhood readers if it the book told a story with events that followed a logical plot line.
Evaluation of Literary Elements: This book is designed for young readers to help them learn to count. The book does a good job showing the correct amount of images for each numbers on a given page. For example when the book says “Eight Mittens” there are exactly eight mittens on the page. The book is also colorful, which will catch the eye of the young reader. Most of the artwork is very small and it think a young reader would enjoy the book more if the images on each page were drawn bigger. This would create more emphasis of the numbers in the book too.
Consideration of Instructional Application: This book would be ideal in a preschool/kindergarten classroom to teach students how to count. In this books students can easily see that the numbers of images on the page correlates to the number written on the page.

In all honesty, the original was better. However, for learning numbers, it's still a cute book.
July 7, 2016
As with most sequels, Goodnight Moon 123 is only a shadow of the original. Still, it was good enough to calm my son before naptime... until I put him into his crib with his blankie and he began to scream.
May 19, 2008
This is my son's new favorite book! Whenever he sees it he grabs it and crawls into my lap so I can read it to him!
August 10, 2009
A great way to introduce counting (uses the same objects and animals from Good Night Moon).
October 31, 2010
wonderful children's book
April 7, 2011
This book would be good to read to children who are having trouble counting. They will be able to see sequence and flow of the numbers.

A little bunny counts and bids goodnight to all the objects in his room before falling asleep.

A counting companion to the classic bedtime book. A nice early introduction to numbers.
February 14, 2014
This book is an easy read with picture support. This would be a great book for kids to read to help connect the numbers with their written letter form.

Just like the original, but with counting. My only beef is that there are 7 socks. What's that about?
