Goodnight iPad: A Modern Take on Goodnight Moon

On my children’s bookcase, there is a tatter copy of Margaret Wise Brown’s Goodnight Moon. It arrived as a baby gift for my first born and has been a well-loved bedtime favorite in my house ever since.

Over the years, I’ve seen various iterations of this book, including Goodnight Goon and Good Night San Francisco, but its latest revamp gives this timeless classic a digital spin!

Goodnight iPad: a Parody for the next generation written by David Milgrim under the pseudonym, Ann Droyd. (Nudge, Nudge… get it?) swaps the mittens, kittens, and bowl full of mush for LCDs, Nooks, and WiFi.

In the bright buzzing room, there was an iPad and a kid playing Doom
And a screen saver of a bird flying over the moon.
And there were three little Nooks with 10,000 books…

Intended to be funny and charming, this book is a gentle reminder to tech obsessed savvy families like mine in unplug every once in a while and just enjoy the silence. In fact, it’s good for you!

Goodnight iPad is available in actual book form (hardcover, no less) on Amazon for $10.17, and currently comes bundled with Go the F**k to Sleep by Adam Mansbach (Hardcover $8.97) and Monsters Eat Whiny Children by Bruce Eric Kaplan (Hardcover $10.87).
