Bookroo's summary

Two playful monsters, full of energy and fun, face the nightly challenge of bedtime. As they creep, gurgle, and tumble through their day, they must eventually settle down to sleep. Will their bedtime antics lead to peaceful dreams, or will they keep the night alive with their snarfing and growling? Follow their whimsical journey, filled with colorful adventures and relatable bedtime struggles, as they discover the magic of winding down. This charming tale captures the essence of childhood bedtime routines with a monstrous twist.

From the publisher

Beloved author Jane Yolen scares up a new rhyming read-aloud about the snarfing, growling, snoring way that monsters go to bed. Creep, gurgle, crawl, tumble! Meet two young monsters who are far from scary - they re too busy having fun. They go to school, play outside with their friends, and eat after-school snacks. But they also have a bedtime, whether or not they re ready for it! Young children and parents alike will find much to identify with as they follow these lovable little monsters getting ready for bed. With wildly colorful illustrations full of whimsy and warmth, Kelly Murphy brings Jane Yolen s gently rhyming tale to rambunctious life.”
