Street MonstersStreet Monsters

It's time to settle down to sleep. But wait! What's that? Strange and scary sounds are coming from the streets outside. Through rhyming text and atmospheric artwork, young readers can first imagine what might be making these mysterious sounds. Then a turn of the page identifies the actual "monsters"-vehicles and equipment like snowplows and garbage trucks. This clever concept is based on a bedtime ritual the author used with her own grandchildren to assuage their nighttime fears.
