This book is super cute.
The story is simple, about Bunny who afraid of the monster and Piggy who give ideas what to do when the monsters come.
Just like most of children books, the illustration is soooo adorable that made me really want to have the printed edition.

Quotes:
Hmm. Maybe I can sing a lullaby so sweet, the monster will fall asleep ...

But when it's dark, there are a million stars to see.

The story is very cute and the characters are sweet, but my only issue is the font used for Piggy's speech. I was reading this book with the 6-year-old I tutor and she already has a hard enough time with telling the difference between I's and L's (and paying attention to the words in general), but Piggy's font makes exclamation marks look like lowercase L's and it even confused me for a moment.

Regardless of that one nitpick, we had fun once we figured that out. I liked how this book addressed the fear of the dark and tried to offer a different way of imagining it.

Love, Love, Love, Love, Love. Two friends out camping, will help each other get over their fears of monsters and the darkness they live in. Perfect illustrations, and a perfectly simple story.
