PS
This goofy monster book offers a counterpoint to commonsense bedtime routines. "MONSTERS eat bedtime snacks. / Which snack do MONSTERS eat?" The oddball answer is "UMBRELLAS!" rather than the healthy options also displayed. The pattern continues, though some answers will be familiar to kids (e.g., monsters go potty in the toilet). Ink-and-brush illustrations, digitally colored in Photoshop, depict the friendly-looking creatures' appealing antics.
