This just in from Publisher’s Weekly:
As bedtime books go, Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Clement Hurd (HarperCollins, 1947), remains one of the gold standards. But author/illustrator Michael Rex thought the classic tale could use a healthy dose of spookiness, so he set to creating Goodnight Goon: A Petrifying Parody (Putnam). Apparently, plenty of parents and kids were ready to follow Rex down the parody path, because the book has hit bestseller lists and now has 100,000 copies in print, since its August publication.
