Mind you it's not very imaginative, (It follows the plot of Goodnight Moon almost exactly. What impresses me is my nine year old daughter (a struggling reader has read it 20 times in the last 5 days. Today she read with expressions that an adult couldn't top. I love this book for it's simple repetition and clever humor. (  ) BeccaPrice | Oct 2, 2009 |  In a cold gray tomb There was a gravestone And a black lagoon And a picture of – Martians taking over the moon So begins this delightfully creepy parody of the bedtime classic, Goodnight Moon. Instead of Goodnight Moon’s bunny, Goodnight Goon features a young werewolf trying to go to sleep. The little werewolf says goodnight to many familiar Halloween sights such as mummies, bats and witches' hats, all in the familiar rhyming cadence of Goodnight Moon. The artwork shows looks of spooky (but not too spooky) sights sure to delight young children on Halloween night. ( ) BookishRuth | Oct 30, 2008 | If your children love the classic, Goodnight Moon, then Goodnight Goon, will surely be a huge hit. They will recognize the room, except now it has spookier contents and decor! Very clever. (  )1  patsila | Oct 22, 2008 | The art is the book's greatest strength. The pages are saturated with color and the bright colors are beautifully contrasted with the general darkness. The storyline is flat, a symptom of trying to hard to rhyme and follow the rhythm of Goodnight Moon. There is hardly a story at all. jadepumpsthejams | Oct 16, 2008 | "In the cold gray tomb There was a gravestone And a black lagoon And a picture of -- Martians taking over the moon ..." Fans of Margaret Wise Brown's classic, Goodnight Moon, should love this adorable spoof. Just in time for Halloween! Rex has the rhythm down perfectly! Colorful and cute!

| Book description |
|
“Goodnight tomb. Goodnight goon. Goodnight Martians taking over the moon.”
It’s bedtime in the cold gray tomb with a black lagoon, and two slimy claws, and a couple of jaws, and a skull and a shoe and a pot full of goo. But as a little werewolf settles down, in comes the Goon determined at all costs to run amok and not let any monster have his rest.
A beloved classic gets a kind-hearted send up in this utterly monsterized parody; energetic art and a hilarious text will have kids begging to read this again and again.
