"This rhyming bedtime picture book is a witty, tender mix of the adorable and the appalling." - The Guardian
"All creatures grim and evil, under the tired sun, are settling down - and so must you, my horrible little one…"
It's time to go to bed, and whether you are a phantom, a vampire, a Dark Lord or a yeti, you still must brush your teeth, put on your pyjamas, and settle down with a cosy story.
"Your duvet is soft and slimy.
Your pillow is lovely and damp.
Cuddle in close with a book (or three).
We'll read by the light of the lamp."
Full of warmth and humour (and slime!) this rhyming bedtime book will disgust and delight sleepy little monsters everywhere.
