Book Description

Publication Date: October 27, 2011 | Age Level: 18 and up | Grade Level: 12 and up

In a bright buzzing room, in the glow of the moon-and iPhones and Androids and Blackberries too-it is time to say goodnight...

Modern life is abuzz. There are huge LCD WiFi HD TVs and Facebook requests and thumbs tapping texts and new viral clips of cats doing flips. Wouldn't it be nice to say goodnight to all that? Like the rest of us who cannot resist just a few more scrolls and clicks, you may find yourself ready for bed while still clinging to your electronics long after dark. This book, which is made of paper, is a reminder for the child in all of us to power down at the end of the day. This hilarious parody not only pokes loving fun at the bygone quiet of the original classic, but also at our modern plugged-in lives. It will make you laugh, and it will also help you put yourself and your machines to sleep. Don't worry, though. Your gadgets will be waiting for you, fully charged, in the morning.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sweet Fun Book, November 13, 2011
This review is from: Goodnight iPad: a Parody for the next generation (Hardcover)
It is so much fun to go back and read children's books. The simplicity and beauty of the story and illustrations are a joy.

Goodnight Ipad is a parody of the much beloved Goodnight Moon book. Those of us who have had to battle teens over shutting down their electronics and just reading a book will find the humor not only in the words, but also in the illustration. And if you look close, even the daddy is a bit troubled by having to give it all up for the evening.

A sweet fun book that you will not mind reading over and over to your young ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Update of a Childhood favorite, November 16, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Goodnight iPad: a Parody for the next generation (Hardcover)
The story line and the graphics mimic the original to a tee. Love the current jargon and techno savvy commentary. Wonderfully executed. Had to purchase it for my grandson, but I feel his Mom & Dad, (software & electrical engineers) are going to love it too. "Goodnight Moon" was my son's favorite and he reads it so often to his own son. This will make a great Christmas gift for all on your list!

We bought this as a baby gift for a computer-minded employee. It was very funny, right down to the name of the author. Clever idea!
