A Halloween Must-Have for the Goodnight Moon Lover!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I discovered this book today and, being a HUGE fan of Goodnight Moon, I was so excited! This book is adorable and is so fun for Halloween. I am sure it would be cute even if you have not read Goodnight Moon, but if you are familiar with Goodnight Moon, it is hilarious! I am excited to read this book to my son!
New Halloween Favorite!

My daughters both love the book "Goodnight Moon" and since we were looking for a new Halloween story, this seemed like a good choice. I end up reading this story to both girls at least twice a day and they don't get sick of it. The rhyming is easy and even my two year old is getting the hang of reading along with it. The illustrations are great! Wonderful new Halloween story!
Horrifingly Hilarious!

After years of reading Goodnight Moon I stumbled upon this parody of the famous children's book. I am forced to admit....I bought this for myself and thought I'd share it with my 6 and 4 year old daughters. The rhymes and pictures are great. My 6 year old really enjoys it and I can't help but smile when I read it. A great share for that all important reading time!
Boo! Who knew?

This book is so very awesome and I am so NOT very awesome with written reviews. But, nonetheless, I will try because this little book needs to be out there and READ. First and foremost - I simply love Halloween and am always on the hunt for good Halloween books. This book did not disappoint. The illustrations are excellent and the rhyme is the same cadence as with Goodnight, Moon. Adults who love Halloween and kids who love Goodnight, Moon will all equally enjoy this book. Every page is chockful of images to peruse and discover. FUN images that are still spooky, scary and frightful without being overly gruesome for little brains. I see this being a classic for our family for years to come.
A Great Book for Your Own Little Monsters!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Our family has enjoyed Micheal Rex's books for years but this one is the best! It is a wonderful, fun parody of the children's classic, "Goodnight Moon" (appropriate for all ages). My children loved the spin on the classic, a book they know by heart! Parents - add it to your collection! Teachers - what a great resource for teaching how to write a parody or just as a great Halloween story (but can also be read throughout the year!). It will hopefully become a classic just like the original. We hope Michael Rex finally gets the recognition he deserves as an author and illustrator!
