review 1: Genre: board bookAnnotation: It's time for bed, but one little goon still isn't ready for sleep! With lively rhymes and cheeky art that'll get readers howling, this hilarious take on the beloved classic will have a whole new audience saying, "Goodnight monsters everywhere!"Themes: parody, monsters, scary things, bedtime stories, Ghosts, Monsters, Vampires, Witches, Sleep, Dreams Ways to Use: compare to Goodnight Moon, read aloud on Halloween, retelling
review 2: When I saw the title of this book, I was hopeful for something funny and clever. I felt terribly let down. The first half of the book was slightly clever in that each thing pointed out was somewhere in the boy's room and you could flip back and find those items. But then the monster comes in the win... moredow and starts destroying everything in sight. What, I wonder was the point of that? The illustrations are good and rich, but the story line leaves much to be desired. I felt more confused than intrigued. I cannot envision any age group that would fall in love with this book. I feel it is inappropriate for children under the age of seven. I don't feel children older than that would find enough to interest them. Overall, not what I was hoping for in a Goodnight Moon parody.Would I recommend this book? NO less
