About the Book

Go to Sleep, Little Creep  (Crown Books for Young Readers) Written by David Quinn, Illustrated by Ashley Spires

A rhyming picture book with humor and heart that’s a wonderful bedtime addition for the “little monster” in your life.  Even monsters have to go to sleep. But before little trolls turn out the light and werewolves settle in to dream, there’s fur to be brushed, pajamas to find and moons that need howling. So grab your cuddly critter and snuggle in for this new bedtime tradition.

“Quinn’s clever rhymes (`“I’ll always love you, to the grave. / But frankly, dear, it’s sleep I crave”) are paired with dark-toned illustrations of cute little monsters looking mostly sleepy. It all ends up comfortably well, with all the little creatures snoozing. Good for reading to a classroom or one-on-one, this delightfully ghoulish tale shows that even monster parents have it tough when putting little creatures to bed. Grades K-2.” – Booklist
