Summary: This is a parody on the 1947 book Goodnight Moon. The house of full of gadgets and gizmos all buzzing and chirping. No one is going to fall asleep with all that racket. The little old lady is fed up with it and so she starts to take all the gadgets and get rid of them so everyone can go to sleep.
Comments: This is a creative way to convey a message of the need to power down. I think there are some details that might be inappropriate (like the bunny peeing, or the Eminem lyrics) but overall it is a cute book.
Classroom Application:
Age: 5 -18 years old
A fun challenge would be to take a classic children's book and make a parody of it. A fun Read Aloud for tech class!
