This Book is Not a Bedtime Story
(Author) Eoin McLaughlinA hilarious, spooky tale by a celebrated author and illustrator 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 frighten—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 scary, they’re a bit silly and a bit cuddly. They share the insecurities and worries of us humans and all they want is a good night’s sleep.
