Perhaps 鈥淕oodnight Moondoor鈥 wouldn鈥檛 be as child-friendly as the classic picture book 鈥淕oodnight Moon,鈥 but it would certainly make 鈥淕ame of Thrones鈥 fans laugh.

The hashtag 鈥#GoTChildrensBooks鈥 recently gained popularity on Twitter, with users (including and , who both tweeted 鈥淕oodnight Moondoor," along with others) giving their ideas for Westeros-themed books to read to little ones. (The 鈥淢oon鈥 twist references the trapdoor in the home of the Arryn family, which is often used to plunge visitors to their death.)

Some others include 鈥淎re You My Mother of Dragons?鈥 from user , referencing the title of queen-wannabe Daenerys Targaryen; 鈥淭he Fault in Our Starks鈥 from user , using the name of the powerful family that rules over the North; and 鈥淎re You There Gods? It鈥檚 Me Margaery鈥 from user , subbing in the ambitious noble daughter鈥檚 name for that of Judy Blume鈥檚 Margaret. (Inevitably, some Twitter users came up with the same clever names, so we apologize if one user tweeted a book title before another and we missed it.)

The children鈥檚 book ideas are still going strong, so check out the #GoTchildrensbooks hashtag on Twitter.
