Purchase options and add-ons

A brilliant parody of the children's classic Goodnight Moon, built around the coming end of the worst presidency ever.

Goodnight Bush: An Unauthorized Parody is a hilarious and poignant visual requiem for the Bush administration. In it we see a childlike George W. Bush tucked safely away in the confines of his own room with all of the toys he's willfully destroyed, abused, or defaced. Complete with a quiet Dick Cheney whispering "hush," this bedtime story lets us finally say goodnight to the disaster that was the last eight years.

"Goodnight Bush stands to become a popular American political parody."―San Francisco Chronicle

"Seldom have an administration's failings been set to such a lulling cadence."―Salon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars What's not to love about truth?
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2008
Verified Purchase
I love this book. It is filled with truth. It is funny, it is dark, and it is very scary. It is also filled with truth. How anyone can find this offensive obviously doesn't grasp the truth of what is happening to our country. Yes, Goodnight Moon was, is a wonderul book for our children. Filled with quiet, peacful moments to put our children to bed with hoping they will have beautiful dreams. However, this book is intended for us, the adults of children, to ensure that we see this administration for what it is and in hopes to change our future so that our children can have peacful dreams again. I do wish Goodnight Moon was the reality. It isn't. Unfortunately Goodnight Bush is.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Devil is in the Details of the Drawings
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2008
Verified Purchase
The original children's book on which this was based was the one my daughter learned to read with and is still a treasured book in our house. I was a little leery of how good a parody of this could be, but found it to be a wonderful parody of both the administration and the original book.

I won't give anything away, but the devil to the book is the exquisitely done drawings that are found on each page. Every time I open the book and stare at the pictures I find something new to laugh at. My daughter (who is currently away from home) is panting at the bit to get back and read it. This is a must have for anyone but the less than 25% of the public that still supports the Bush administration.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful; A Collector's Piece
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2008
Verified Purchase
I never liked "Where's Waldo?" But this book is *fun fun fun* to scrutinize. (For those of you who wear reading glasses, you'll need a second pair to wear over the first. Some of the items are pretty small.) If you, too, are worn out from 8 years of outrage and shock, and are just counting the days until The End of an Error, then this is just the Rx you need to get you through.

I'm treating my copy as a collector's item. It will be proudly displayed next to the framed copy of the 4/28/08 issue of the National Examiner having the headline BUSH SECRET LOVE CHILD! NEW SCANDAL FROM HIS PAST ROCKS MARRIAGE!

There's some symmetry there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Well Done
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2008
Verified Purchase
Okay, so your politics probably need to lean in this direction for you to be able to appreciate this one. Having said that, this book is a very clever poignant critique of the last seven years. What really impressed me is how well done it was. I actually purchased the original Goodnight Moon as well and read (looked at) them side by side. Much like Goodnight Moon, the subtle embedding of images within images is impressive. It's one where you keep finding new things the longer you look at each panel. That's pretty much where the similarity with the original ends though.

I will mention, as the authors and most of the other reviewers have, that unlike Goodnight Moon, this is not a children's book. It is a harsh political criticism, complete with the WTC, hurricane Katrine, torture and a lawyer hunting vice president.

I guess my take home message is that if you are not viscerally disgusted with the last seven years, you probably don't need or want to read this one. But if you are, this is clever and well done--if disturbing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and painfully truthful
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2008
Verified Purchase
"Goodnight Bush" is the epitome of parody, but the object of its ridicule is not the beloved children's book whose appearance it mimics so successfully. With humor and painful accuracy, the authors point out the horrors of the Bush presidency using the soothing cadences and simple rhymes of the classic bedtime story, replacing the bunny in the great green room with George Bush dressed in the famous flight suit he wore when declaring "Mission Accomplished" after the invasion of Iraq, and replacing the "quiet old lady whispering 'hush'" with a wizened Dick Cheney in the rocking chair. This book makes an excellent gift for anyone with a well-developed sense of irony who has suffered through the past 8 years and still hopes for change.

5.0 out of 5 stars An irreverent, hilarious parady. NOT for kids!
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2014

Hilarious!! I've waited a long time for the masses to finally see the [moon ]light! Dubbya & his gang are nothing but a bunch of bullying thugs. It is so sad, it helps to find some humor in it. This book turns my favorite story upside down. The tiny details on every page are excellent. I still find something new every time I look, & laugh all over again. Don't let your kids see it! It will ruin the sweet story forever. Oh--sort of like their administration did for the country.

I heard about this book and thought it would be hysterical, but only a yellow dog Democrat would see any humor in it at all. Being one of those, I did, but not as much as I thought I would. The pictures are the best part. Borrow this book from someone else, get a little chuckle.
