A gentle rhyming tale of hungry monsters promotes healthy bedtime routines for young children.
On a cold, quiet, and moonless night, hungry monsters come out of hiding from the woods looking for something tasty to eat. Young Jack, in his little wizard costume, and his sister Joy, in her frilly fairy dress, are fearless and ready to face the monstrous creatures who barge into their bedroom looking for tasty treats.
"We're hungry monsters on a prowl
For something tasty, something foul."
The monsters are looking for deliciously grubby feet, sticky hands, and unbrushed teeth which they find scrumptious. But to the delight of the children, Jack and Joy have no such thing-they're nice and clean and therefore are not the stuff of monsters' dreams. They are washed, brushed, and smelling fresh and clean-the stuff of monsters' nightmares!
This playful rhyming story shares with children that it's never too early to start creating healthy habits, such as washing their hands and brushing their teeth, as part of their bedtime routine...to keep the hungry monsters at bay!
Praise for The Night the Monsters Came:
"Siblings Jack and Joy are ready for bedtime. But first, they must outwit the hungry monsters that stand in their way - by harnessing the power of hygiene! This delightful picture book will keep children enthralled while teaching healthy habits like washing their hands and brushing their teeth." -Bookbub
"A terrific message told with style and class. Written with the feeling and tempo of classic children's poetry from centuries past, The Night the Monsters Came is a catchy story for new readers that gently stresses the lesson of regular oral hygiene." -Morgan Justice, Indies Today
"I thought this book was cute. I really love the message behind it and I think it is a cute and fun way to convince your kiddos to stay clean." -Reedsy Discovery

This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!

Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
