If your monster won't go to bed, hardcover/denise vega

For 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 wont go to bed, dont bother asking your parents to help.

They know a lot about putting kids to bed, but nothing about putting monsters to bed.

Its not their fault; theyre just not good at it.

Read this book instead.

It will tell you what to feed your monster before bed (its not warm milk), and what to sing to your monster (its 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 dont 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.
