Illustrated by
John Hassett.
After the lights are off at bedtime, little boy Bob sees different pairs of glowing eyes around his bedroom. His trusty flashlight reveals friendly faces wishing him goodnight, including a big guy who'll elicit chuckles from readers. Cartoonish illustrations saturated in dark blues, reds, and greens emphasize the simple, repetitive text, which is surprisingly suspenseful yet also reassuring to soothe bedtime anxieties.
