Goodnight Moon Party Ideas

Birthday party theme ideas using the favorite children's book "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown. Fun birthday party ideas for kids with invitations, decorations, games, activities, favors and more in the theme of the Good Night Moon book.

I read this book to all 4 of my children when they were little - it was one of their favorite bedtime stories.  While researching I found a little trivia about Goodnight Moon on Wikipedia - some of these things I knew and some I had never noticed in all the times reading the book.  Enjoy!
