63. Goodnight Moon


Kidding. But mostly also not kidding.

Goodnight Moon's mysteries have a Lost tinge.

Karen Horney said that The Runaway Bunny was one of the most important children's books ever. But I prefer Goodnight Moon. IIRC, Margaret Wise Brown wrote the words in a day or less, and Clement Hurd, who was a student of Fernand Leger, and whose illustrations are I think really wonderful, spent a year doing the paintings.

How closer than Frank to the cosmic bone
Cut the bold paintings of Fernand Leger!

Forgot all about Runaway Bunny if I ever knew.

Horney was kind of one-issue, but if you need to be one-issue hers might be the one to pick.
