Other Comments: This child's book is a bedtime story, that is a parody of Margret Wise Brown's "Goodnight Moon". Although it is a cute story for children with rhyming lines and adorable illustrations, it drives home a moral that's important for adults to hear as well. In the story, much to the mother's dismay her family becomes so "plugged in" to their devices, they can no longer get to sleep. So, the mother eradicates her house of the distractions and her family can miraculously sleep once again. We should all take note from this story. I love my gadgets as much as the next person but we should realize that we do need to unplug every once in a while and try not to get so caught up in the gadgets and gizmos; that we lose sight of the important things in our lives. Disconnect and don't get so caught up in the digital world, that we lose sight of the present.
