This a cute story about bedtime rituals perfect for school aged children. It's perfect for one on one reading and for a older sibling/younger sibling read along. The illustrations are so vibrant and the story is really cute.

Cute story! Laughed out loud reading the Monster Stomp part. Love Zachariah Ohora's illustrations - the bright colors just pop!

Second half could be used as a good mentor text for how-to/procedural writing for younger kids.

***All questions answered by my 4 year old***
Do you like this book?
Yes because I like monsters!
What's your favorite part of the book?
I like the monster stomp! But it's too loud. It will crack the whole place. And I like the bug juice. I want to drink the bug juice! I just love bugs, even snails and centipedes. And it's so pretty. I like all the colors. This book made me feel pretty good and super excited!
What do you think of the cover?
I like it. I like the human sitting on the monster's head. I like the white letters!
Do you want me to read it again?
Next time.

This is an adorable book. The colors are amazing, the illustrations are adorable. And it was really fun/funny to read. We loved reading about how to get your monster to go to bed!

This one was a HUGE hit with my toddler. The story is funny and Zachariah Ohora's illustrations take it beyond. The monster is super cuddly -- this is a great addition to the "friendly monster" category.
Notes on representation: The little girls and their mother are black, and their father is white. There are a few crowd scenes that include kids with varying skin colors.

The monster stomp, especially the bit about 'shaking their bristly bottom' was a huge hit.
