Illustrated by
Chris Van Dusen.
A mischievous little blue monster reluctantly settles down for the night as her father reads to her. The book-within-a-book's message: even Bigfoot, aliens, dragons, giants, and the like "need to sleep." Although the deftly wrought rhymes, with their repeated refrain, are soothing, the big, bold art is anything but. Perfect for small children who--like this monster--are not quite ready for bedtime.
