-recommended for an older child (5+) before bed, because they'll understand most of the references and recognize the parents' consternation on another level
-the zombie bit at the end is great, but may require a reread to appreciate
-love her name

A couple rough patches, but a fun story about bravery and children's imaginations coupled with engaging art.

Did not finish this one. When you can hardly make sense of the word bubbles.....you know you are in for a problem.

A monster book that puts the power in the kid's hands. I like it!

Poesy is freaking VICIOUS! This little girl isn't scared of anything. Not werewolves, not vampires, and not even her own tired, angry parents! That just means that Poesy is the best monster slayer around. This book was fun start-to-finish, with super cute illustrations, fantastic monster facts, and great humor. Loved it.

Poesy is so brave. She's in charge of fighting all the monsters in her house (no matter how many times her parents tell her to go to bed). This cheerful monster picture book stars an indomitable little girl who's ready to face anything the dark throws at her. From vampires to Frankenstein's monster, she's ready to face it all... even the zombies that appear in place of her parents after a sleepless night. This one may be more for the parents than for the kids - the big humor moment is in recognizing that the parents are now "zombies" due to lack of sleep because Poesy's been keeping them up with her noisy monster fighting antics.

I read this in 2021. Here at the end of 2021 I am going over what I read throughout the year and writing my lasting impressions of the book.
This was cute.
