Editorial Reviews

Review

"You must get your copy of this book....A wicked, savage parody." (Courier-Journal )

"Goodnight Bush stands to become a popular American political parody." (San Francisco Chronicle )

"Seldom have an administration's failings been set to such a lulling cadence." (Salon.com )

"This might be one of the greatest works of fiction of all time ever--up there with the Bible, the Constitution, and those books about the blonde siblings who slept together in their attic." (BlackBook Magazine )


Product Description

A brilliant parody of the children's classic Goodnight Moon, built around the coming end of the worst presidency ever.

Goodnight Bush: An Unauthorized Parody is a hilarious and poignant visual requiem for the Bush administration. In it we see a childlike George W. Bush tucked safely away in the confines of his own room with all of the toys he's willfully destroyed, abused, or defaced. Complete with a quiet Dick Cheney whispering "hush," this bedtime story lets us finally say goodnight to the disaster that was the last eight years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Devastatingly, Darkly Funny, May 20, 2008
By Charlie Young (Down in Old Virginny) - See all my reviews
This book is a great gift for almost anyone who isn't still driving around with one of those corporate logo-like "W '04" bumper stickers (most of which are found on massive gas-guzzlers inside the big bubble that is the DC beltway).

The love for the art and read-aloud rhythm of the original children's classic is evident, but this variation is certainly not for the kiddies. Bravely, the authors even included a swipe at Fox News, owned by Rupert Murdoch who also owns Harper-Collins Publishing, publishers of "Goodnight Moon."

Most importantly the book serves as comic relief from the endless stream of bad news over the last seven years, and--unlike many humor books or anti-Bush books--there are subtle images throughout the artwork inviting repeated readings. The rhyme of the text works so well it should be required bedtime reading for stressed Americans who need a laugh to relax before dreaming of a better future.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for anyone who has been paying attention, May 26, 2008
By L. Curtis (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I just received this book as a gift, and it has prompted me to write my first review. This book is for anyone who has been paying attention during the Bush years. The placement of characters in reference to the original book is so well done, but also the small details on each page is like a "Where's Waldo" of the calamities of the administration. I laughed out loud, and at the same time sighed. It's hard to make the nightmare funny, but the authors made me laugh for just a minute and it was a welcome relief. Off to purchase copies for several friends and family members.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever, funny and so sadly spot-on, May 28, 2008
By April D. Karys "AOK" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Every time I re-read "Goodnight Bush," I find a new reason to laugh, and then sigh. It's brilliant. The late, wonderful Molly Ivins would have been first in line for it. It's a must-give title for all who'll celebrate when the lights go out on the present administration.
