Book Crush - Goodnight Goon


I've mentioned before how much my little guy loves monsters and all things scary, so you can imagine how beyond excited he is that its Halloween time. We came across this book last year and the kids love it. Michael Rex takes the nighttime classic, Goodnight Moon and puts a spooky twist on it. Instead of a little rabbit, its a small monster and the bowl full of mush is now a bowl full of goo. Even my smallest one recognizes the silliness of the parody (and its mellow enough to not spook her) and I appreciate that Rex chose phrases that fit with the original cadence of Goodnight Moon and the rhymes aren't forced. A great Halloween read!

Find it here (or they have it at Target too!).
