A little boy dreams of scary monsters but his mother has the perfect solution - put them all to work! The scary witch does the laundry, the many-legged spider cleans the kitchen, and so on. Finally, the little boy is ready to sleep. Alixandra Martin's mixed media illustrations shift perfectly from the looming darkness of the little boy's room, in shades of blue, black and gray, to the bright colors of the industrious monsters and the little boy's delight in their antics. Parents who don't have bedtime problems probably will want to skip this one - who wants to give the kiddos ideas? But if you've got an irrepressible bed hopper, this just might do the trick.
