I like the mouse in Goodnight Moon... and he's on every page, have you noticed? That'd be a pretty labor intensive job of digital removal.

On the other hand, I don't know of anyone who digitally removes real mice, but when you find someone, send him or her over here after, okay? I know the pesky things weren't here last Pesach, because I cleaned well enough that I would have noticed their little droppings, but they showed up some time after that. We were doing a good job of ignoring them (don't bother us, and we won't bother you) until my kids saw one early one morning last week, and I noticed that they'd visited the bottom shelf of the bookcase, one that has Gemorahs on it... do mice learn Gemorah?

In our last house there were at least reasonable places to place traps that the kids couldn't get to, but here even the furnace room is kid-accessable b/c it's also my laundry room! (Stupid set-up, but it wasn't my idea.)

And if there was an obvious place they were getting in, I could at least stop it up! But I can't figure out where to even look.

Cigarette? Now how have I missed that?

And while I know kids who wear their pj's inside out so the tag doesn't scratch, I have never yet seen one readable from across the room. Besides, cotton pj's only need to be close-fitting for kids over a certain age . . . and I've never seen guidelines for bunnies :-)

Sheesh! Take all the fun out of childhood, why don't you.

if you look in the book goodnight moon there is one page with the most disturbing picture ever!! i read it to my kids all the time, however there is a picture on the wall which shows a rabbit with a fishing rod and a carrot dangling trying to catch( kill) another rabbit. before you say i am crazy - go and look at the picture yourself. everyone i have shown this to is shocked

gabrielle - If I am not mistaken, that image is from another one of MWB's books: The Runaway Bunny. In that book, when the baby bunny threatens to run away, his mother tells him how she would find him and bring him home. The baby bunny comes up with one scheme after another to elude his mother, but she keeps finding solutions. One of those plans involve the baby bunny turning himself into a fish and swimming in the river, and his mother saying she will become a fisherman and catch him. I believe the painting on the wall in Goodnight, Moon is a direct copy of the relevant illustration in Runaway Bunny.

Tired of the PC Police! This was very funny, I have to admit. :-)

Hilarious! I tried reading Goodnight Moon in Hebrew just for language practice. It was a weird experience.

And you all caught that it was the TIMES mocking the PC effort, right?

[And you caught that you posted this message three times, right? - s]

We have Goodnight Moon in Hebrew! (Compliments of my MIL.) It was definitely interesting, but it doesn't rhyme any more. I forget what they did to the bowl of mush... cereal? and instead of "Good night nobody" it says (I'm translating, obviously) "Good night empty page." Too weird.

where are the cigarettes? I have the hebrew one and I don't see no cigarettes! Did they digitally remove them from the Hebrew version?
