This story takes readers through a little monster's bedtime routine, however bedtime for a monster is a little different than bedtime for a human child. This monster has to wash his tail, drink some cold worm juice, and even floss the bugs out of his teeth! When its time for bed, his mother comforts him because he is afraid of children under his bed. His mom turns on his night light and tucks him in so he can fall asleep.
The illustrations are consistent with the text and include gross, monster-themed items around the house. The bread is full of worms and little monster's nightstand is infested with worms.
This story provides young readers with an excellent example of rhythm and rhyme. Classes can also compare and contrast their night time routine with the monster's nighttime routine.
