✨Praise for The Night the Monsters Came:
“Siblings Jack and Joy are ready for bedtime. But first, they must outwit the hungry monsters that stand in their way—by harnessing the power of hygiene! This delightful picture book will keep children enthralled while teaching healthy habits like washing their hands and brushing their teeth.” –Bookbub
