Perfect place to sum up the Bush years...

...in a parody of a children's book. The Bush years have definitely been a parody of a presidency. And there has never been a more childish, immature, ridiculous person in the Oval Office.

This is the perfect gift for all the people on your list who have suffered through these last eight years. All the crimes, mistakes, and shenanigans are laid bare in verse and bright (or black and white) pictures. As we put the darkest years since WWII behind us, we can laugh and look to a brighter future.

Conservatives and Bushies won't like this because it finally explains things to them on their level & they see the damage that has been done, the joke the country has become. I'm sending one to Ann Coulter and another to Bill O'Reilly. Let's have a volunteer to make sure Michael Savage and Sean Hannity get one. Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh might understand if we read it to them slowly and explain as we go...

Very Funny

This is a wonderful book; funny and irreverent. I would not share with a younger child but great to share with teens and some older kids.

Overall, a funny parody.

Goodnight Moon was one of my favorite books as a child, so I could not resist this parody. My wife and I both enjoyed it very much and the depth of the illustrations is amazing.

Right on the money!

This book is a lot more sophisticated than it looks. Very well done, and very entertaining. I highly recommend it.

Funny to some readers, and likely infringes

The act of placing the word "parody" in a work's title does not make that work a parody. Although I am no lawyer, it's evident to me that Goodnight Bush easily could suffer the same outcome as a similarly mislabeled volume by the name of "The Cat NOT in the Hat! A Parody by Dr. Juice".

For you gentle readers who aren't familiar with the Copyright Act or its provisions in section 107, bona fide parodies -- those whose purpose is to ridicule a similar work -- are provided protection as fair use under the Act. Don't be fooled; Goodnight Bush isn't about Margaret Wise Brown's beloved classic. It's a satire attacking Bush, his administration, and the state of our culture.

If you like reading or collecting this sort of reading material, I suggest purchasing early. Under U.S. copyright rules, it could vanish from the shelves overnight. Because this book is a satire as opposed to a children's classic, don't expect the smooth, unbroken poetry Ms. Brown wrote so capably six decades ago.
