About Goodnight Opus
This book is a fun version of the famous children's story, Goodnight Moon. Goodnight Opus starts with Opus the Penguin in bed, wearing his pink pajamas. A kind nanny figure is reading Goodnight Moon to him.
Opus's Imaginative Journey
After the nanny falls asleep, Opus begins his own adventure. He travels to say goodnight to many different imaginary creatures and animals. His journey shows how important imagination is. It encourages readers to think beyond what's written in a book.
The story celebrates creativity and exploring new ideas. It reminds us that our imagination can take us anywhere.
Connection to the Comic Strip
Goodnight Opus also connects to the comic strip Opus. In the final stories of the comic strip, Opus is encouraged to find a peaceful place to stay forever. He chooses to spend eternity sleeping in the bed shown on the last page of Goodnight Moon. This shows how much the book meant to his character.
