Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd's bestselling children's book headlines this winning 25-minute collection of sleepytime tales from HBO. Susan Sarandon narrates the simple story of a bunny readying for bed. Other top entertainers lend their voices to the tape: Tony Bennett sings the story of "Hit the Road to Dreamland"; Lauryn Hill brings rhythm to "Hush, Little Baby" (the best segment); Billy Crystal lends many voices to Mercer Mayer's "There's a Nightmare in My Closet"; and singers Natalie Cole, Aaron Neville, and Patti LeBelle sing other tales. A dandy video for the youngster, punctuated with "interviews" of real kids answering a host of bedtime questions. --Doug Thomas

Bedtime for Bonzo.......2007-07-08

This DVD is the perfect gift for any parent who has trouble getting the little jumping bean(s) to settle down for the night. I bought this DVD for my goddaughter understanding that her mother would be MOST grateful. The little girl who might otherwise be swinging from her bunkbed like a chimp in an effort to escape a bedtime story from a book now sings herself to sleep EVERYTIME her mother turns on the Goodnight Moon DVD. I'm told that the song sung by Lauryn Hill is the best- enjoyed by both mother and daughter.

GREAT story!!.......2007-06-29

I first saw this on HBO and my son already had the book. He loved it so much I had to buy the DVD. He follows the story along with his book and laughs at the childrens stories.
I would not recommend this for children younger than 2-2 1/2. It has commentaries by other children whos ages range from 5 to maybe 8 and keeping their attention may be hard.
2 thumbs up!

My son is obsessed with this..........2007-06-14

My son is completely obsessed with Goodnight Moon. He even knows the names of the author & illustrator. Needless to say, he's even more completely obsessed with this video. It's really well put together & has great cameo voiceovers. It really brings these classics to life. Worth the buy.

Kid videos.......2007-03-27

A must have. Goodnight moon is a classic. I think I like it as much as the kids do.
The animation is kinda lame but functional and artistic in its' own way.

Brilliant and Beautiful.......2006-09-05

I bought this DVD for my 3 year old granddaughter when she came to stay with me. It is possitively brilliant. Favorites read and sung by celebrities separated by charming and lovable "interviews" with young children about their dreams and dreaming experiences. My granddaughter LOVED it and watched it over and over again during her ten day visit. It is so enjoyable that you will be charmed also and not tire of watching with her.
Gentle, funny, and beautifully illustrated. I hightly recommend it.
