If Your Monster Won't Go To Bed
by Denise VegaFor fans of How to Babysit a Grandpa comes a tongue-in-cheek story that is a step-by-step manual for putting your monster to bed. If you have a monster that won&’t go to bed, don&’t bother asking your parents to help. They know a lot about putting kids to bed, but nothing about putting monsters to bed. It&’s not their fault; they&’re just not good at it. Read this book instead. It will tell you what to feed your monster before bed (it&’s not warm milk), and what to sing to your monster (it&’s not a soothing lullaby), and what to read to your monster to send him off to dreamland in no time (the scarier, the better). Just make sure you don&’t get too good at putting monsters to bed—or you might have a BIG problem on your hands!Praise for Zachariah OHora: &“The text is pitch-perfect, and the art is its match.&” —Chicago Tribune (Wolfie the Bunny) &“Picture books with hip, quirky illustrations that are not just funny but also have plenty of heart are hard to find.

They clearly show everyone&’s feelings . . . and there are brilliant bits of humor and whimsy.&” —School Library Journal, starred review (Wolfie the Bunny) &“OHora could paint stones in the street and make them funny.&” —Publishers Weekly (My Cousin Momo)
