Well I hope we have all heard of the children's book "Goodnight Moon." This book is a funny and somewhat scary rendition of that. The bunny is replaced by a little monster boy. He still says goodnight to his surroundings just as the original book, but of course his are a little different since he lives in a cold tomb in a black lagoon! There is a werewolf and bat, and of course a goon.
The illustration went with the story. The colors he used were darker so you got the feeling you were in the lagoon! Along with that some of the illustrations were a little scary, I wouldn't use this book on kids who get frighten easily.
As a teacher I could use this book to help define parody or introduce that many times people do spin offs of books. The students could make a compare and contrast chart.
