Description

Included in the best new picture books and novels round-up in The Guardian, 2025.

“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.
