What a fun bedtime storybook to read aloud to young children! It has everything needed to bring about giggles and, hopefully, pleasant dreams. The monster in the illustrations is adorable and the text is hilarious.

Guilherme Karsten's "Are You a Sleepy Monster?" is a delightful for young children. Karsten's book tells the story of a sleepy monster who wants his fellow monster (the reader) to sleep under the bed. The book shows children how to sleep and why they should sleep on their bed. They also learn not to be afraid of what's under the bed. The writing is clever and engrossing, and kids will love the gorgeous and quirky illustrations. If a child in your family is having sleep problems, this could help alleviate some of their stress about sleeping alone in the dark.

The book is also visually appealing that it would also appeal to younger kids who do not read. This could be a bonding experience with their parents who could read them the book.

Where do monsters go, when they're ready to sleep? Under the bed, of course! This is a super cute children's picture book about a monster sleepover! When the reader insists that they sleep ON the bed, Monster is a bit reluctant to say the least. But will he be open to change???

I read this book to my 8 year old son, and he enjoyed it, though he did feel that it would be better for younger kids. Despite that, he said that he liked the pictures and thought it was funny.

As a librarian, I could absolutely see this book being popular with my families who have young children! In fact, it would be perfect for the PJ party events that we host!

🧚🏻A big thank you goes out to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion, and author, Guilherme Karsten for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This is adorable and I love the illustrations! I can imagine myself reading this story to my little one and all the fun he will have interacting with the sleepy monster.

This is a super cute story, perfect for bedtime. My son thought the monster was so funny and he enjoyed when the story asked him to turn off the light for the monster. The last page with text was great too. My son wants to sleep with his own monster now.
Definitely a fun bedtime story!
