About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about shadows in their room or when the nightly power struggle over tooth brushing has left everyone exhausted. It is a brilliant tool for flipping the script on nighttime fears by turning typical 'scary' monster tropes into silly, relatable moments of family bonding. Through the eyes of a little monster who eats his bedtime stories and gets messy with fangpaste, children see that even the things they might fear have a gentle, funny, and predictable routine of their own. This story helps preschoolers and toddlers process their environment with humor rather than hesitation. It is a sweet, colorful celebration of being different while finding comfort in the universal rhythm of a parent's 'goodnight.'
