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

Wonders, Junia: - There are two things in this world that Junia Wonders loves doing the most: writing and reading children's stories. When she's not doing either of these, you might catch her whispering to dragonflies, chasing rolling pumpkins, traveling the world with a giant wheel of cheese, or simply having a cup of tea and cake with a clever little rat, a lonely pony, a couple of riotous retired neighbors, and some kids who, like her, believe that with a little sprinkle of magic, anything is possible! She sincerely hopes you enjoy reading her books as much as she enjoys writing them. If you like Junia's books, please consider leaving a review.
