A Bone To Pick

I have a bone to pick with Margaret Wise Brown. Ms. Brown is the author of everyone's favorite bedtime story, Goodnight Moon. We read this to Tali every night before she goes to bed. A few weeks ago, Dan pointed out an inconsistency in the book and I just can't seem to get past it. The beginning of the books says "In the great green room, there was a telephone and a red balloon..." and then continues to point out things in the room. After everything has been listed, the book says goodnight to them all. But, it doesn't say goodnight to the telephone! I've found numerous places that Ms. Brown could have said goodnight to the telephone. She even says goodnight to things not mentioned in the beginning (stars, air, noises everywhere), but no telephone. Now every time I read the book I wonder about the poor telephone. Does the telephone not deserve a proper goodnight? What did it do to be left off of the list? Why wasn't this corrected in one of the reprints? Anyone know the answer?
