Books : Goodnight Bush: A ParodyIn association with Amazon.comRating:  - Book of Indoctrination!!!This is not a children's book!This is nothing but propaganda! Good thing I decided to put my kids in Private School after years of homeschooling...This is what exactly going on in our public schools, they don't educate our children instead they're indoctrinate them of their RADICAL AGENDAS!...I don't wanna live in a MARXIST AMERICA! and this kind of books will do it... Rating:  - hilarious parody of a childhood classic!HILARIOUS parody of Goodnight Moon, if you dislike/disagree the current administration and want something to lighten the mood. Pay attention to the details! Had me laughing out loud - at work! (I work in a bookstore.) I definitely think the detailed drawings are my favorite part. Rating: - Goodbye BushA friend of ours bought us this book, and what a wonderful gift it is! I have it on the coffee table - for everyone to read and ponder. For those who don't know or have forgotten Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon, I recommend keeping a copy of her book close by. I got mine from the public library. What is the best part of this book? It's impossible to choose. The polar bear rug by the bedside table is high on my list, as is Cheney sitting in the rocking chair, wearing his crooked smile and bunny slippers. Every time I go through the book I find some new little detail that I missed before. Watch the scales balancing church and state on the mantelpiece. Watch the lines of fine powder on the bedside table. This is a book that must be read - as the mills of God grind - "slowly ... yet exceedingly small". The two pages most appropriate for these days' news: "Goodnight bubble bursting in air"; "And goodnight piggy beyond repair." Everyone should keep a copy of this book. Lest we forget.... Rating: - Written just for Bush!Finally a book written just for W, on a level which he will understand, so he can come to terms with what he has done to this country, and the world, without all those big words, and too much writey stuff! All the issues you'd want them to touch on, but still has that "sitting on Barbra's lap" feel to it, just for George! A MUST read if you've ever read Goodnight Moon to your kids! Rating: - In Poor TasteOK - Mr Bush is not in the top 10 of US presidents, maybe not in the top 42 (thank you Jimmy Carter!), and for that accomplishment, the concept of making fun of him is not unexpected. However, the illustration of the toy plane crashing into the building blocks that are made to resemble the World Trade Center, well that is beyond terrible taste. I shouldnt have to explain why that in itself is horrific, but to teach this as a joke to children? The fact that this book was published in this poor taste and displayed in the children's department is a real shame. |
