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.

This was cute and the illustrations were magnificent! I can imagine it becoming a bedtime favorite. The text was fun and silly and the colors and creatures were delightful!

Cute little book which is lots of fun and has some brightly coloured illustrations too which are very eyecatching for pre schoolers.
Tells the story of bedtime in a very simple, but fun way.
Going back and searching every page for a bat is a nice touch too.
Great read

This is a fun, short bedtime story/rhyme with lots of brightly colored monsters to look at on every page. The “find the bat” in every scene piece was a fun touch to add, and my pre-schooler enjoyed searching for it. The illustrations are bright and bold with great expressions. However, even though monsters are perhaps chaotic, the illustrations were too copious and some seemed random and unrelated to the storyline. The pages were almost overwhelmingly covered in sporadic images of monsters to make up for the limited words on the page. My child still loved it and has asked to read it multiple times.

Overall, a cute story with brightly colored illustrations.

Another fun installment in the Monsters Everywhere series! Like the previous books, there isn't much of a story, it's a string of extremely colourful, busy, cluttered, amusingly-chaotic scenes that offer plenty of interative options to engage with little kids with a rich imagination. Parents can easily come up with games to explore each page and have fun with it.

Wow! This is the cutest bedtime story. I can see a child wanting to read it over and over. The pages are very busy and colorful which can lead to so much fun reading and discussing. It's so playful you barely notice that it is walking through the bedtime routine, and a very drawn out one at that! Lol! Not all the monsters were cooperating! I loved this and I think beyond the extension activity listed in the back, I think a child can have fun searching and finding the monsters in each scene. And you can even see of the child see themselves as one of the monsters in the book.

This title would make a fun addition to bedtime. Young children will enjoy seeing the colorful monsters and their antics. The rhyming text will delight little ones…and their adults should enjoy this one too. It is adorable.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

My son thought this book was so funny! It was really cute and easy to read. I think children learning sight words will have an easy time reading along.

This is such a cute bedtime story, and I love the colors! You don't really expect a book about monsters to have such amazing colors. The bedtime routines were also really sweet and comforting. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Thank you, Netgalley, Laura Baker, and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the ebook. My daughter and I loved this funny and quirky children's book! She loves monsters and the illustrations were great and finding the bat in each page was so much fun!

A perfect entry to this perfect series, as little monsters all go to bed – they have their bath, or their story, a last prank, a last widdle, and then they settle their weary heads – all seven of them, in some cases. The rhyming is always absurdly well done in these books, and the visuals full of colour and things to pore over – meaning this will be a book to keep you awake far too long, mind. If you need books for sharing that make the youngsters laugh and won't tire you out with their boring inanity, I don't know why you should not turn to these titles. The four I've seen have been equally splendid.

HOW CUTE is this book. My toddler and I loved the bright illustrations and the easy rhymes throughout the story. Reading this flow of story at bedtime is perfect for young kids to get them excited to follow along with the story. The bat search at the end was so cute for littles. We loved this book!

I LOVED this!! The illustrations are amazing; super 90's and colorful and exciting. This would be a great book to just put in front of a toddler, but I would totally recommend this to anyone looking for a short, fun bedtime story.

Thank you NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books | Happy Yak, and Laura Baker for the early access copy of Monsters at Bedtime.

What a great addition to the Monster series! Monsters at Bedtime shows the progressive steps of putting little ones to bed through vibrant imagery, playful text, and clear routine. This will be a great tool to help set up bedtime routines, and will be a fun and engaging read for little ones. With the addition of a search-and-find game at the end, this will be a must read at bedtime.

Great fit for ages 3-7.

Oh my, what an adorable book! The story is focused on getting the monster kids to bed, the whole process, including all the misadventures and sneaking out of bed that children will relate to. The illustrations are amazing, so colorful and interesting. The shapes are so cool and unique, and the color schemes work so well. I think any child would adore this cute, rhyming bed time story!
