A mix of story text and speech bubbles blend seamlessly in this humorous bedtime tale that both parents and children will relate to.
For ages 3-7.

* The difficulties of bedtime are a relatable and much-discussed topic for parents
* Makes monsters not so scary
MY TAKE:
My son is too young to be scared of monsters, but when the time comes that he understands what they are, I think he'll like this book a lot.
In Even Monsters Say Good Night, Avery is scared of monsters and asks her mom if monsters go to sleep at night.
I loved the story. Any book that has a positive effect on children is okay with me. The monsters in this book seem quite friendly, and I think they may be able to help ease some kids' fears about monsters. Plus, children are inquisitive by nature, and I think parents will be able to relate to Avery's mom.
I also liked the illustrations in the book. The drawings themselves are simple, but the use of textures and patterns in the coloring gave it a fun, almost quirky vibe.
If your child is afraid of scary monsters, you should definitely consider reading this book with him or her.
