GOODNIGHT MR. DARCY
Board Book
Kate Coombs • Illustrated by Alli Arnold
The adored children’s classic Goodnight Moon gets
a classic lit makeover in this charming parody of Jane
Austen’s Pride and Prejudice novel. All of Austen’s
much-loved characters are at the Netherfield Ball—
In the great ballroom, there was a country dance, and a
well-played tune, and Elizabeth Bennett; and Mr. Darcy
surprised, by a pair of fine eyes . . . And don’t forget
Jane with a blush and Mr. Bingley turned to mush, and
a gossiping mother and father saying hush.
KATE COOMBS has written six previous books for children,
