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.

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!

A very entertaining and clever book. My three year old loves it (and loves Goodnight Moon), yet is too young to really appreciate the humor. But he knows what Angry Birds, smart phones and tablets are, and he gets that we have to put those away to have a proper bedtime story (he thinks it's so funny that the little bunny on the last page is reading Goodnight Moon--"That's what we do at bedtime!")

Notice 2001: A Space Odyssey on the LCD Wi-Fi HD TV? The obelisk and the monkeys...A very clever message to any adult reader who notices. A good present for technophile parents.

Bought this book for Christmas for my 2 year old grandson--very cute, and thought provoking-- a hit with all the adults, too!!

great idea for technologically geared parents of toddlers. Love how it ends with everything coming full circle. Both my daughters got a kick out of it.

This is a great book for a family of multi-generational geeks. Unlike the current best-selling (but vulgar) parody children's go-to-bed picture book (the one filled with the F-word), this is a book you can actually read to kids. I have no kids living in my house anymore (they've all grown up), so I read it to my dog Feste every night. Spoiler alert: "Goodnight Macbook Air" is my favorite part.

This was a very clever parody of the original. The drawings are worth inspecting closely for the odd little surprises you might not notice immediately. Well done, "Ann Droyd!"

I love this twist on the original book. My grown up "kids" each received a copy for Christmas! The original was a childhood favorite!!!

Gave this to my granddaughters for Christmas. The youngest one felt the wrapper and said it was probably a boring old book. Once she opened it I had her read it to us all, and she was laughing all the way through. Very clever and nostalgic for all of us who spent hundreds of hours reading Goodnight Moon.
