A monstrously funny bedtime book where clean hands and brushed teeth are a kid's best superpower against stink-loving monsters!
On a moonless night, the monsters come out of the woods.
We're hungry monsters on a prowl for something tasty, something foul.
They're after sticky hands, grubby feet and unbrushed teeth. But Jack, in his little wizard cloak, and Joy, in her frilly fairy dress, are washed, brushed and smelling fresh-which makes them the stuff of monsters' nightmares.
The Night the Monsters Came is a rhyming picture book for kids ages 3-8-perfect for building healthy bedtime routines and helping kids conquer their fear of monsters.
From multi-award-winning author Junia Wonders and illustrator Lisa Ciccone. Ideal for families who love There's a Monster in Your Book, Go Away, Big Green Monster!, and The Monster at the End of This Book.
Written with the feeling and tempo of classic children's poetry from centuries past. -Indies Today
