"Goodnight Bush": the musical

So yesterday I'm hanging with Mingo, a fellow Atriot, at the Tattered Cover bookstore at 16th & Wynkoop in Denver, when this group suddenly gathers on the stairway landing directly in front of where we were sitting. We'd just been handed copies of the children's book parody Goodnight Bush ("just for a few minutes," the guy said), and the next thing I knew, we were being serenaded by what I can only describe as a flash choir.

(yeah, I know it's kind of shaky, but it's one of a kind, so bite me.)

Naturally, I bought a copy of the book. It's brilliant, and the illustrations in particular are spot on parodies of Goodnight Moon. The author, or at least one of them, was part of the choir, I believe ... but I didn't find out who that was. I gave several of them my blog-card, so I'm hoping they can elaborate in Comments.

Can't wait to read it to my kids. I already told my son, age 9, about it. His response: "But I don't like Bush!" "That's the point," I replied. I need to work on my kid's snarking skills ...
