Young Paul doesn't want to go to bed, so much so that he sprouts an (imaginary) tail and becomes a terrifying monster. After some soothing by his parents, he settles down for sleep. The story is slim in both English and Spanish; the conflict is resolved without much happening. However, the childlike pictures are eye-pleasing. Review covers these titles: Bedtime Monster and Bedtime Monster / ¡A dormír, pequeño monstruo!.
