by Deb Adamson, Ma Pe (Illustrator)

Overview

This parody features a young witch as she prepares to hang up her broom for the night—perfect for Halloween!

It’s time for bed, but the little witch’s room is still awake with magic. Join her in saying goodnight to all the frightfully fun items around her.

Little ones will adore this festive spin on a familiar bedtime tale.

Editorial Reviews

"The rhyme, rhythm, and onomatopoeia give a clear flow and movement to the wee witch’s nighttime ritual. A clever retelling of a classic that has a place in all libraries."—School Library Journal

"Goodnight Moon takes on a haunted hue in Adamson’s board book send-up, which successfully echoes the source text’s rhythmic intonation for an amusingly spell-binding effect."—Publishers Weekly
