This is the second Monsters at ... book that I've read, and the overall look is fun. I thought this one might be a little too energetic for bedtime, and it would probably benefit from a more definitive 'let's-go-to-sleep-no-really' ending, but these are small issues.
This is another fun book in the monster series from Happy Yak books. It was just like all the other ones. It’s a cute singsong rhyme with great illustrations that kids are going to want to read again and again.
My son loved this book. He especially enjoyed the promo at the end of the book telling him to find the little bat. This book is so cute and we both enjoyed all of the antics of the different monsters. These are the silliest little monsters I’ve ever seen! Definitely recommend this book.
The perfect book for toddler readers! The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and made my young reader giggle as I read it to him. As a mom with three young children, I can see this book becoming one of our popular bedtimes stories. I loved that the young reader can be engaged in the story by finding the "Bat Monster" throughout the book. I would highly recommended this book to families with young readers!
Thank you so much to NetGalley for this ARC!
Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own
I think this is the third book in the series I've reviewed so far and I love it as much as the others. I take forever to get through the book because I love looking at all the details of the illustrations.
Need a fun bedtime story full of monsters and mayhem? Look no further! This books combines fun rhythm and rhyme to tell the story of monsters trying to settle in for the night. A joy to read!
This book is adorable!
Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, Monsters at Bedtime is full of bright, colorful illustrations and a simply rhyming pattern on each page.
Each page shows a step toward getting ready for bed and the reader can see all the silly things the monsters do as they get ready for bed. If this book had existed when my boys were toddlers I'm sure we would have read it every night, I could easily see it becoming a reader favorite!
It's bright, it's funny, the illustrations are cute - it's just pure fun and joy all the way around. This would make a great addition to your family's bookshelf!
The monsters books are some of the cutest things ever! This is my second one I was given to review. The artwork is so bright and fun! I really like all the names the author gives all the monsters. In every book there is a hidden monster on every page, you can find that at the back of the book and go back through and check to see if you and your child can find it, or go look to see what you should look for before reading. The books I can't get over and want the whole collection for my bookshelf for kids!
This book is SO cute!!!! I love the illustrations and all of the colors. They are intrguing for young kiddos.
The rhyming and the images went perfectly with the story.
So fun! What a wonderful bedtime book for very young kids - great for toddlers! The colorful illustrations are similar to an easy "I Spy" book, plus there is a secret game revealed at the end. Loved this fun read!
Oh the 80s kid throwback vibes! As a child of the 80s I loved reading this with my girls at bedtime. The illustrations made me think of the Letter People. That story itself is a quick simple book about monsters getting ready or avoiding getting ready for bed. Cute little surprise seek and find activity was immediately used by my daughter's to delay bedtime, and I didn't mind at all! My 6 year old quickly picked up how to read it to my 4 year old. It's likely just above most level 2 readers but given the repetitive nature she grasped it quickly.
Monsters at Bedtime is very cute and kept my kiddos engaged. We enjoyed all the monster art and rhyming. Adding the activity at the end (finding all of a certain monster) is a great way to add more reading time. This would be a great book for a quick bedtime read!
Thanks to Quarto Publishing and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review!
This was such a fun bedtime, or anytime read! Absolutely loved the bright silly illustrations, and my kids loved searching for the bat on each of the pages. We will definitely seek out the other Monsters books.
This is the perfect bedtime story. I loved the rhyming and the easy cadence of the story. My kids loved the vibrant and colorful illustrations. I liked that the story told a perfectly honest story of the joys of bedtimes with multiple children and got a good giggle at a scene that I see every night.
Adorable Monsters everywhere!
This was a fun read about Monsters winding down for bedtime. Each page is colorful with so many silly monsters. The simple text is perfect for winding kids down for the night.
ARC Review
My kid says "really really fun, a good book." There was definitely not a plot (yes, going to bed, but it was basically just rhyming bedtime words), so as a parent, it was just okay. The bat finding was a good addition though
I loved the illustrations in this book. So many colors and so much to look at, Kids and parents won’t get bored of it even with many readings. And the short rhyming lines are great. Lots to love with this one!
Thank you so much to Quarto Publishing / Frances Lincoln Children’s Books/ Happy Yak and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.
This is such a perfect read, it’s so funny and so easy, I loved looking at each page and seeing what all the Monster’s were going to get up to.
An incredibly perfect read before bedtime, seeing that the monsters have a sleep routine too is great for young children, they’ll see that even monsters want to sleep. I really love the rhythm of these books and how it’s written, it just flows so perfectly.
This book was really funny, the monsters were all so different and doing so many different things, as they do, it was so much fun searching for the bat monster too, he was always in such funny places.
I love the illustrations throughout this book you have a never ending amount of things to look at on each page. A great bedtime read with young children, they’ll have so much fun reading and looking at it.
This is just the CUTEST book my Kindergarteners LOVED!!!! Perfect for us as we are learning our shapes this week. We used it as a Where's Waldo type of book and my students loved searching for all the objects.
A colourful book with fantastic illustrations. It really captures the chaos of bedtime! An extra bonus of having monster bats to find on every page.
