Rex, Michael

Goodnight Goon: A Petrifying Parody

32 pp. | Putnam | August, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-24534-3 $14.99
(4) K-3 "In the cold gray tomb / There was a gravestone / And a black lagoon" begins Rex's parody of Margaret Wise Brown's classic bedtime tale. This version features monsters under beds and headless skeletons in appropriately ghoulish digitally-colored pencil drawings. Adults who have read the original hundreds of times may enjoy this take-off, and kids will giggle at its (one-note) humor.
