About
This Book is Not a Bedtime Story Synopsis
This book is NOT a bedtime story. It's scary, strange and rather gory. Bedtime stories make you sleepy. This book won't. It's much too CREEPY.
Except it isn't... this book is told by a group of monsters who think they're very scary, but in fact they're not - they're cute and cuddly. They try their hardest to scare you - in a haunted house, creepy wood, ghostly ship and darkest dark, but each time they fail! The problem is, these monsters aren't at all spooky. They're a bit silly, actually. And a bit cuddly. In fact, they share the insecurities and worries of us humans and all they want is a cosy, snoozy good night's sleep. Despite the title of this book it really is a bedtime story.

Eoin McLaughlin Press Reviews
'Robert Starling's mock scary scenes of the would-be terrifying beasties ... are hilarious; and there are some deliciously funny words spoken by bit part players ... it's most certainly one to share with youngsters. They'll relish it, as will adult readers aloud, and the former will more than likely demand immediate re-reads.' - Red Reading Hub
'This is a PERFECT bedtime story, banishing worries about scary monsters, laugh-out-loud funny and filled with gorgeous, bright illustrations.' - It's All About Stories
'This brightly coloured book is ... perfect to snuggle up to while settling in for a good night's sleep.' - Creative Steps
'Hilarious... perfect for those last minute chuckles before bed!' - My Shelves Are Full blog
