“Huw Aaron takes the traditional bedtime story and flips it on its head with this lovely rhyming tale that understands you're never too young for a bit of gentle irony. A perfect bedtime story for the disgusting blob in your life.” - The Times
Welsh author, illustrator and graphic novelist Aaron has flipped the traditional bedtime story on its head to create a delightfully different rhyming tale about child monsters and villains settling down for the night. But, rather than causing a fright, it brims with just the right amount of loving cosiness to help mini humans drift off. * Observer *
Featuring a catalogue of sleepy monsters from cyborg to yeti, winding down alongside the cute little blob of the title, this rhyming bedtime picture book is a witty, tender mix of the adorable and the appalling. * Guardian *
Witty and wholly original ... this (is) a delicious monster-y tale * The Bookseller *
