This Book is Not a Bedtime Story
This Book is Not a Bedtime Story | Eoin McLaughlin
1 post | 1 read
This book is NOT a bedtime story. Its scary, strange and rather gory. Bedtime stories make you sleepy. This book wont. Its 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. A brilliant tale that reassures children, makes them laugh and gets them ready for a peaceful night's sleep.

4 ⭐ This was adorable. You have a monster trying to convince his friends and those around them that they are big and scary and not ready for bed. While the friends go along with things, it‘s like any type of friends group. It‘s a story you‘ll know and love by the actions you‘ve taken,but your kids will love it for the combination of rhyming cadence and side conversation. Illustrations are bright and colorful and work quite well with this story.
