goodnight ??



this is a classic baby book, and i read it to my children until we knew it by heart.  it was 
 soothing, and the rhyming words helped them go to sleep.  

now there is a new version!

it starts
In the bright buzzing room
There was an iPad
And a kid playing Doom
And a screensaver of --

A bird launching over the moon.
There were three little Nooks
With ten thousand books
And a huge LCD Wi-Fi HDTV.

really amusing for grown-ups.  I had to buy it to share with my friends who may also have the original book memorized.  

it ended happily.  happy reading!

  1. I am one of those that knows this book by heart. It's a good one. I had no idea they made an alternate version...That's pretty funny.

  4. Funny, but not at all as poetic as the original. Well, I haven't read the book myself, but I have heard people read it in films and on tv, and it's so beautiful. Soothing as you say. If I was an american I'm sure I would know it by heart too.

    This was such a memory filled walk back in time. I loved to read Goodnight Moon {until we all knew it by heart} to both my kids. It is certainly a piece of beauty in every day life!
    Thank you

  6. Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. I suppose they did it to reach a new generation. Sigh...Margie

  7. i loved 'goodnight moon'.... and the other "a parody for the next generation".... funny, but also a shame innocence and simplicity seems harder and harder to hold on to.
