But they also have a bedtime, whether or not they’re ready for it! Young children and parents alike will find much to identify with as they follow these lovable little monsters getting ready for bed. With wildly colorful illustrations full of whimsy and warmth, Kelly Murphy brings Jane Yolen’s gently rhyming tale to rambunctious life.

"This cheerful, richly illustrated going-to-bed book has gentle but
hilarious illustrations accompanying a simple rhyme which leads little
monsters from school through dinner and bath to bed. With a final 'I'm
not sleepy' all is quiet and tucked-in in this safe and cozy monster
town, with only the nightlights glowing on the last page.
It's brevity will allow for multiple readings,
which is handy, since I can imagine it will be asked for again and again by your own little monsters.
Wonderful!"
