The book has references to Angry Birds (launching over the moon), Nooks (with ten thousand books), Wi-Fi, Facebook, viral clips (of cats doing flips), and many more modern technological advances. Ironically, we read it on my laptop through We Give Books, which is a digital initiative that enables anyone with access to the Internet to put books in the hands of children who don't have them, simply by reading FREE online books.   

There are two things that are worth mentioning. First, Goodnight iPad is a New York Times bestseller and it has been reviewed by Julie Bosman in an article, A New Children’s Book Parodies a Beloved Classic. Second, Ann Droyd is a pseudonym. The author's real name is David Milgrim. He is an IRA/CBC Children's Choice winner who has written and illustrated more than twenty-five picture books for young readers.  

Here is an animated version of the book. 

Most parents do not need an introduction to Goodnight Moon by  Margaret Wise Brown  - a classic children's bedtime book the parody of which Goodnight iPad is. But I feel this post would not be complete without making a reference to it. As you can see below, Goodnight Moon has a number of companion books and related toys and games.

Happy reading and viewing!
