Go to Bed, Monster! [Hardcover]

Natasha Wing (Author), Sylvie Kantorovitz (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up | Grade Level: P and up

Lucy DOES NOT want to go to bed. She wants to draw. But as she's working on her masterpiece, Lucy creates . . . Monster! Monster just wants to play. And play. And play some more--until even Lucy is exhausted. It's going to take some quick thinking (and drawing) to get this tireless monster to bed. . . .
       

Natasha Wing and Sylvie Kantorovitz have created a sweet and hilarious bedtime tale reminiscent of Harold and the Purple Crayon. It's a story about friendship, imagination, and turning the tables on those little monsters who just won't go to bed!

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

As a creative person, there are many nights where my mind is too busy to go to sleep. So I wrote this story as a solution one girl, Lucy, has to getting that creative monster to settle down and GO TO BED! I love the illustrations because they are childlike and look like they were drawn in crayon, Lucy's medium of choice. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

More About the Author

Natasha Wing was born in Milford, Connecticut and now lives in Fort Collins, Colorado. After graduating from Arizona State University she married Daniel Wing and worked in advertising for a number of years. It wasn't until 1991 that she decided to write children's books. Luckily she sold her first book within six months and has been writing children's books and articles ever since.

"I'm curious about many things- people, holidays, underdogs, little known historic figures - and translate my excitement for a topic into books for kids to enjoy. I mostly write picture books, but after 20 years, I'm also writing middle grade novels and easy reads. Cross your fingers they get published! Story ideas are popping into my head all the time, so you never know what my next book will be. But that's what's so fun about writing."
