Praise for the hardcover edition of Goodnight Songs:
 
“It's a treasure trove: one dozen previously unpublished lyrical songs illustrated by the likes of Jonathan Bean, Carin Berger and Melissa Sweet. . . . the simple rhymes have Brown's trademark charm . . . children will enjoy the whimsical scenes, and adult mavens of children's literature will appreciate and delight in the background of the discovery.”—Kirkus Reviews  
 
“These tranquil poems are best shared one-on-one, preferably in the lap of a caring adult right before tuck-in time. Nothing but sweet dreams could possibly follow.”—School Library Journal
