{My thoughts} – One of the more entertaining bedtime stories I have had the pleasure to read. I really enjoy reading stories that are Holiday themed. They help to show children the order in which Holiday’s fall throughout the year if they are read in regards to a specific Holiday.

This is a cute little bedtime story about the monsters that are generally used for dress up during Halloween by young children, but mostly in books etc. It uses a different little monster on each page and has them doing something that a child would generally do during a bedtime routine. I am one of those parents that seem to lack bedtime routines with all of my children. I do believe that it is something that is helpful and helps maintain order, but in my house it just doesn’t seem to happen.

I think that this is a wonderful book and that it will make a great addition to any child’s library.

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
This early reader chapter book tells an adorable scout-themed story about young scouters going on their first camping trip. The scouts and their leaders both learn important lessons along the way dealing with respect, friendship, and the importance of asking for help. This book is a good fit for young readers and young scouts alike!
