Illustrated by
Mark Buehner.
A rhyming text shows how a monster mama lovingly combs cobwebs from bangs, takes her darling swimming in the swamp, and sings lullabies "of things that shriek and moan and creep." Buehner's lively illustrations are filled with suitably spooky details, yet the bright colors and humorous creatures keep the art and story light enough for preschoolers.
