Once there was a boy who loved scary stories and often wondered if scary things liked stories too. With his reluctant mother, he goes out to try to read to all the monsters to see what would happen. My kids smiled and laughed from the first end pages. I smiled from the little boy’s question of “who tucks in beasts?” and it only got better from there. Yes, there are monsters (great for Halloween!) but they are creepy-cute enough for fascinate rather than scare. The text is also that perfect rhythm and rhyme that it sounds like a chant or song as you read it. I received a very early ARC of this book and after we read this three times, my six-year-old asked twice if we get to keep it or have to return it to the library. I told him, it’s a keeper.

A sweet bedtime books, perfect for kids who find Sterer's Night Knights too scary. Be sure to look for the little brown furry monster who appears on most (if not all) the pages!
