Bedtime for Monsters cover

In this whimsical story, a monster seeks a bedtime snack, but what he really wants is a goodnight kiss. Bedtime for Monsters offers a humorous twist.

In Bedtime for Monsters, readers are introduced to a quirky and slightly alarming scenario: what if a monster was on the prowl for a bedtime snack? As the story unfolds, the tension builds with the monster getting closer and closer, and his tummy rumbling ominously. This humorous tale captures the imagination of children, balancing the fear of the unknown with the warmth of a bedtime ritual.

However, the twist in Bedtime for Monsters reveals that this seemingly fearsome creature has a surprisingly sweet intention. Rather than being a threat, the monster is simply in search of a lovely monster-sized goodnight kiss. This unexpected turn transforms the narrative from one of potential fright to a heartwarming conclusion, reassuring young readers that not all monsters are to be feared.

Ed Vere, the creative mind behind this delightful story, brings his unique artistic style and storytelling prowess to life. With a background in fine art and a passion for children's literature, Vere has crafted a tale that resonates with both humor and affection. His experience as an illustrator shines through, making Bedtime for Monsters not just a story to read, but an experience to cherish at bedtime.
