Goodnight Moon Online Read Novels & Stories

I wasn't sure what he was doing when he dragged a table from the sitting room over to the windows and sat the kids on top of it to look out the window at the moon. And then he read Goodnight Moon, in its entirety, without a book. Oh yeah, it's a squad, alright, the geek squad. At least he didn't come at me because of the things I said; now that I think of it, that was really stupid. Gabriel isn't the jealous type, and after two years and three babies, my body probably doesn't even look the same to him anymore anyway.

“This… mark. It’s not just a scar, is it?” “Don’t be too fat, Marianne,” said Marianne, pursing her lips very tightly. She placed the book on the bedside table, and flipped the book to the ribbon marker. The parchment was yellowed, covered with symbols I didn’t understand, but the image in its center took my breath away: a woman with a glowing moon-shaped mark on her chest, standing under a full moon, wolves bowing at her feet.

She chose herself. That night, after Lila came home from her grandparents house, Elena helped her into pajamas, combed through her damp hair, and read Goodnight Moon for what felt like the hundredth time. Lila snuggled close, her little fingers playing with the collar of Elena’s shirt as her eyes fluttered sleepily. But then Lila’s voice, soft and sweet, broke the silence. “Mommy?” “Mm?” “Can you tell me the hummingbird story again?”

Smith calming him down, I could imagine her picking him up. "Well, listen, grandma will give you two sweets if you sleep there.” I had no choice but to lie because I knew if they started to cry, I would be forced to go get them. “Really?” Grace sounded happy already. "Yes, really, right, mom?” “Yes, I will give you two sweets —a lot of sweets,” she played along. "Okay, I'm not crying anymore, but Mommy, can you read for us Goodnight Moon, please?” "Yes, Mommy, then we will sleep,” Clinton added.

"Hungry Caterpillar. Wild Things. Good Night Moon. And... this one!" She held up the book James had given her—a first edition "Winnie the Pooh." "Good choices," I said. We read all four. Luna insisted on reading parts herself—which meant reciting from memory since she couldn't actually read yet. "The very hungry caterpillar ate one apple... but he still hungry!" "That's right, baby girl." After stories, tucking her in, kisses goodnight, we turned on her nightlight. "Mama stay?" she asked. "Mama is right next door. I'll check on you in a little bit."

She smiles as she climbs into bed. Kim smile as she moves over next to Brianna. I walk over taking a seat at the end of the bed as Kim open the book. "The very hungry caterpillar." She read the title to Brianna before opening the book. "In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf. One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and pop out the egg came a very tiny and a very hungry caterpillar." Kim looks over at me sitting on the end of the bed and smile as she turns the page and continues to read the book.

Giggle. Normal. “Chapter,” Alex said. Bed. Pajamas. Knight Industries. Hair wet. “Read chapter.” “Which chapter,” Adrian said. Sitting on the floor. Between two cribs. Book in hand. _Goodnight Moon._ “Chapter 50,” Alex said. Serious. “The one about us. Still.” _Silence. Bedroom. 8:49 PM._ We don’t have Chapter 50. Not in a book. Not written down. Except in us.

Luna was on a swing in the garden during the evening. The sky was dark blue, and the moon was really bright. No birds were making noise; everything was quiet. The moonlight made the garden look special. There was a gentle breeze, and the leaves moved a little. Luna felt peaceful as she swung, looking at the beautiful moonlight. She was reading her favorite book in a peaceful environment. Her fingers traced patterns in the air as her mind wandered through the pages of the book resting on her lap.

Moana One night, I was reading a bedtime story to Ella when I found myself nodding off in the chair by her bed. I didn’t wake up until a couple of hours later. She was fast asleep and I didn’t want to wake her, so I quietly got up and slipped back into my room to go back to sleep. When I walked back into my room, I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary, seeing as how tired I was. I moved my sketchbook aside and climbed into the covers, and quickly fell asleep.
