Once as a child, I had a bad fever and lay sweating and delirious in my bed, hallucinating and fearful.
Thatâs what Goodnight Moon always reminds me of.
see, the thing is, i think the room seems so large because itâs drawn from the childâs perspective. ALL rooms are gigantic when youâre a little kid.
Iâve read this book to my kids a bazillion times as well, and only just recently noticed that the story takes place over the course of an hour and 10 minutes (according to the clock in the bunnyâs room).
The mouse is the most easily explained bit. Itâs infected with Toxoplasma gondii and it just wants to be eaten by those lazy, good for nothing cats who wonât get on their job and kill the poor thing.
Not sure if Harry Potter would agree with you.
My son is 18 months and already knows there are two clocks in the roomâŚ

Wow. That was the weakest thing Iâve read in some time.
Yeah, I was a little underwhelmed, myself. The author was trying too hardâŚ
