An overtired Batman needs a goodnight rogues brawl to help him settle down for the night. A batload of visual gags works well with the parodied verse of Goodnight Moon. Cute. (

My grandson loves Goodnight Moon. It is one of his favourite bedtime stories. He also loves silly things and lots of colourful illustrations, so I know he would love this parody of his favourite bedtime story as he gets older. This book is geared to older kids and their parents. Batman wants to go to sleep, but he needs to say goodnight and take care of all the things hanging around the batcave including all the villians we know and love to hate from the batman stories. Lots of great illustrations, yes there is some violence but no more than some of the cartoons kids watch on television. If you are a superhero fan, you will want this book from your collection.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. (

I liked this so much I immediately bought it for the two little boys in my life. They're going to love it like I did.

In the great gray cave
There were a lot of bats
And souvenirs saved
And the pictures of –
The rogues who have never behaved
