Creepy Monsters, Sleepy Monsters

By Jane Yolen

Illustrated by Kelly Murphy

A new rhyming read-aloud from the beloved Jane Yolen about the snarfing, growling, hip-hopping way that monsters go to bed.

Creep, gurgle, crawl, tumble! Meet two young monsters who are far from scary – they're too busy having fun! They go to school, play outside with their friends and eat after-school snacks. But like human children they also have a bedtime, whether they're ready for it or not! Young children and parents alike will find much to identify with as they follow these lovable little monsters getting ready for bed. With wildly colourful illustrations full of whimsy and warmth, Kelly Murphy brings Jane Yolen’s gently rhyming tale to rip-roaring life.
