Street Monsters

By Barbara M. Joosse and Joosse Barbara

Book Overview

A clever story that deals with monsters that are NOT under the bed and assuages little ones' nighttime fears.

It's a snowy winter's night in the city. The bedroom lights are off and it's time to settle down to sleep. But wait What's that? Strange and scary sounds are coming from the streets outside. What can be making these sounds? Are monsters coming? Don't worry All will soon be revealed. These monsters aren't here to frighten. They are here to help.

Based on a bedtime ritual the author used with her own grandchildren, Street Monsters uses rhyming text and atmospheric artwork to allow young readers to 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--that help keep a city running smoothly. And now that all is well, it's time to go to bed
