Descripción editorial
A rhyming picture book with humor and heart that's a wonderful bedtime addition for the "little monster" in your life. Includes illustrations from bestselling author/illustrator Ashley Spires of The Most Magnificent Thing.
Even monsters have to go to sleep. But before little trolls turn out the light and werewolves settle in to dream, there's fur to be brushed, pajamas to find, and moons that need howling. So grab your cuddly critter and snuggle in for this new bedtime tradition.
Debut storyteller David B. Quinn teams up with bestselling author/illustrator Ashley Spires to create a wondrously funny and supremely sweet picture book sure to charm little creeps who aren't quite ready to fall asleep.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this bedtime tour of a spooky alternate universe, Quinn (the Not for Children Children's Books series) and Spires (the Binky the Space Cat series) show that monster and fiend parents face the same challenges getting their offspring to sleep as their human counterparts. As dawn threatens to break across the sky, a tired-eyed ghost parent tries to coax its baby, cuddled against a tombstone, to get some shut-eye ("I'll always love you, to the grave./ But frankly, dear, it's sleep I crave."), while a lagoon-dweller holds a swaddled, beatific baby and sings a bubbly lullaby ("blupblupblooop"). Despite their shared need for sleep, the grown-up mummy, zombies, and vampire, among others, understand that baby ghouls have bedtime fears (in their case, the "horrid things" are bunnies, unicorns, and fluffy kittens), just as they believe that having a "tiny terror" to love is beyond compare. "So good night, moon. Farewell, night./ Guard me and mine throughout the light." Ages 2 5.
