"Goodnight Opus" (ISBN 9780316108539) is a 1993 children's book by Berkeley Breathed featuring Opus the Penguin.

"Goodnight Opus" is a take-off of the popular "Goodnight Moon" children's book; this book actually begins with Opus being read "Goodnight Moon" by a maternal nanny figure while he sits in bed in his pink pajamas. After the nanny falls asleep while reading, Opus goes on his own journey to say goodnight to all sorts of fanciful beings and animals. The entire journey is an ode to imagination and to going beyond the last pages of a book. Because the book encourages readers to think radically, it has "been banned in seventeen countries with early bedtimes", according to Breathed's website.
