Just some things I noticed:
1)The book is dedicated to Henry, Linnell's son, which I thought was pretty cool.
2)The illustration for the line "I read my book" shows the boy reading Bed Bed Bed and the girl reading "Ulysses"!
3)The doh-dohs in Impossible are like the doh-dohs in Wake Up Call. You know what I mean.
4)On the CD, Linnell uses a flanger effect for the line about turning into an octoflange.
5)Happy Doesn't Have To Have An Ending mentions the words hippie, akimbo, gavotte and minuet. Hopefully kids will be inspired to figure out what these cool words mean!
6)Idlewild was the original name of JFK airport in New York, and it also happens to be the label this is released on.
7)Kimya Dawson gives Bed Bed Bed a new sound, and I like it. Throughout the song you can hear crickets chirping, and they go on for about a minute after the song is over.
8)The back cover shows pictures of Linnell, Flansburgh and Marcel Dzama as kids. Go to www.giantkid.com to see them, and also the website's new look.
9)If you take off the jacket, there is a different picture for the cover.
10)Buy this book and go to bed!
11) This is not only a great book to get your little Giant to sleep, it's also a fantastic learn-to-read tool. My little Giant likes to listen to the CD in the car while following along in the book. She'll be reading on her own in no time.
