Monster Boogie

Monster Boogie
by Laurie Berkner (Author) and Ben Clanton (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Boogie away those bedtime fears and let out your inner monster!

Snippet:
I’m the biggest monster
that you’ve ever seen!
My eyes are purple
and my teeth are green.
I’m big and I’m scary,
you know what I mean?
And this is what I like to do . . .
