Goodnight Moon is classic children's literature in North America. The text is a poem, written in simple feminine rhyme, describing a bunny's bedtime ritual of saying "goodnight" to various objects in the bunny's bedroom: the telephone, the bunny's dollhouse, the bears, etc.

One aspect of this book is the wealth of detail in the illustrations. Although the entire story takes place in a single room, the careful reader or child will notice numerous details from page to page, including:

* the hands on the two clocks progress from 7 PM to 8:10 PM.
* the young mouse and kittens wander around the room. The mouse is present in all pages showing the room.
* the red balloon hanging over the bed disappears in several of the color plates, then reappears at the end.
* the room lighting grows progressively darker.
* the moon rises in the left-hand window.
* the socks disappear from the drying rack.
* the open book in the bookshelf is The Runaway Bunny.
* the book on the nightstand is Goodnight Moon.
* in the painting of the cow jumping over the moon, the mailbox in the right-hand side of the painting occasionally disappears.
* in the painting of the three bears, the painting hanging in the bears' room is a painting of a cow jumping over the moon.
* the painting of the fly-fishing bunny, which appears only in two color plates, appears to be black and white (or otherwise devoid of color). It is very similar to a picture in the book "The Runaway Bunny".
* the number of books in the bookshelf changes.
* the pendulum of the bedside clock disappears in the final room scene
* the stripes on the bunny's shirt change
* in the last page the word bunny is gone off the brush
