Review "When I graduated from high school, I received an incredible gift from my mom. It was Goodnight Dorm Room—a playful spin on the children's classic for those heading off to college. The book, written by Sam Kaplan and Keith Riegert and illustrated by Emily Fromm, offers light-hearted advice for incoming freshmen. Most people reading Goodnight Dorm Room would laugh or smile as they read rhyming verses full of jokes, life advice, and everything in between. Instead, I bawled my eyes out. I still can’t quite figure out why this 64-page picture book hit me so hard. Goodnight Dorm Room didn’t say anything particularly troublesome. It didn’t tell me that college would be a frightening, hopeless venture or something worth dreading. It wound up only painting a picture of college that was full of possibilities, opportunities, and change, and that is what scared me." -- Matt DiSanto ― Onward State "This fully illustrated hardcover beginner’s guide to college is as funny as it is smart." -- Christina Vercelletto ― CNN "This book is actually really funny." ― The Home Edit About the Author Samuel “Fact” Kaplan is an author, psychologist, and humorist based out of Oakland, California.
