Goodnight iPad

Goodnight iPad is a parody of the classic children's book story entitled Goodnight Moon. Goodnight iPad was written by Ann Droyd and published in 2011.  I read this story online as an e book which was very ironic due to the fact that the book uses the exact structure of Goodnight Moon but changes the words in the text to revolve around technology.  Reading this book as an e book allowed me to understand the text from a different perspective while also using technology which is what the story i centered around.  Within a classroom, this book would be a great resource to use in order to introduce parallel structure to students. Through using technology, and the availability of Goodnight iPad on the internet, students could compare both texts in order to compare and contrast the text features and structures with one another.
