Goodnight, Broom: A Spine-Tingling Spoof

Illustrated by Ma Pe
Look inside
This board book parody features a young witch as she prepares to hang up her broom for the night—perfect for Halloween!

In the wee witch’s room, there was a magic wand, a pointy hat, a busy broom, and a frog leaping over the moon.

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.

"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
