Rex, M. (2008). Goodnight
goon: a petrifying parody. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons.
Reading level: Not levelable
Interest level: Grades K - 3
This “petrifying parody” inverts the soothing, sweet tone
of nighttime classic “Goodnight Moon.” Inviting the reader to explore the “cold,
grey room” full of scary creatures, this book mimics the original rhyme scheme,
syllable for syllable. Use this book to lead a lesson about parody or just as a
Halloween read-aloud treat.
