Book Synopsis

Whether you are a vampire or a ghost, a werewolf or a yeti, a bedtime routine is absolutely essential for a good night’s sleep. Adults and children will fall in love with Blob and the whole cast of monsters as they brush their teeth, put on their pyjamas, and get tucked up in bed.

Warm, loving and slimy, this hilarious rhyming picture book is the perfect addition to bedtime reading, ending with a kiss and sweet dreams for all.

“All creatures grim and evil,
under the tired sun, are settling
down – and so must you, my
horrible little one.”

Our Review Panel says...

Huw Aaron’s book is a brilliantly offbeat addition to the bedtime genre, and an award-winning one at that.

The story follows a sleepy blob being tucked into bed in a normal suburban house, while its parent reflects on all the other monsters who are doing exactly the same routine.

The humour is spot on and captures the familiar back-and-forth of bedtime routines and parents trying to get a child to settle. The illustrations highlight the side-by-side nature of the weird and wonderful fantasy elements (monsters, brains-in-jars and slimy lairs) and the familiar, quotidian routines that will be recognisable to many readers. Beneath the slime and the fun, it’s a lovely, quirky way to show that no matter how different we look or feel, we share similarities.

This is a must-have for the classroom and a perfectly fun twist on the traditional bedtime story.
