Little Monster needs to get ready for bed. That means howling at the moon, scrubbing his scales, getting into his creepy PJs, and enjoying a nice snack before bed: worm juice and baked beetle bread. And, of course, Little Monster’s mother is nearby to tuck Little Monster into bed and turn on his night-light—because even little monsters can be afraid of the dark. Bonnie Leick’s soft, child-friendly illustrations rendered in watercolor bring a new and quiet twist to the evening’s bedtime ritual. Sweet dreams, Little Monster!

Goodnight, Little Monster Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2–Bedtime rituals, monster-style. In the tub, Little Monster scrubs his scales and his mom picks all the bugs off his “cute, furry ears.” His bedtime snack includes worm juice and baked beetle bread. He brushes his fangs and chooses a book to cuddle up with. While the text is quite fun to read, it is the watercolor illustrations that steal the show. Each page is filled with kid-friendly monster details such as a toothbrush with a bone handle, spider pj’s, a tub with real claw feet, an eyeball night-light, and, of course, bats and mice all around. Take a standard “getting ready for bed” picture book, add in a good dose of Halloween monster stuff, and you get this delightful tale. A fun storytime or anytime book for all but the most sensitive child.Catherine Callegari, Gay-Kimball Library, Troy, NH

From the Author

When I was little, I was SURE a monster lived under my bed, and I was always a little bit scared. As I grew up, I realized there were no monsters under the bed (or in the closet, either!) But I know that many children share this same fear. So I wrote Goodnight, Little Monster to make monsters seems less threatening – at the same time trying to get children to look at this situation from a different point of view. What if a little monster was afraid there was something under HIS bed? Something creepy, like maybe scary children? My hope is that this fun little bedtime story, where the little monster goes through many of the same bedtime rituals many children do, will help kids be a little less afraid of what MAY be under the bed.
