Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Animals
Nighty Night, Little Green Monster
by Ed Emberley
Ages 3+ 32 pages LB Kids August 2013 Hardcover    

As you turn the die-cut pages of this little picture book, you’ll see Little Green Monster’s face gradually appear. Once his face is clearly defined, it begins to disappear as the stars come out and bedtime nears.

In this unusual picture book, the fun lies in turning each page to see the little monster’s bluish-green nose, his squiggly ears, his red smiling mouth, his single curly purple hair, and his green pumpkin-like face materialize.

Then, as the stars begin to appear on each page, you reverse the process—until, on the final page, all you find are stars and the moon.

This bedtime book will not only get your little monster in the mood for sleep (hopefully), but it will most likely also become one of his or her most favorite books. There is very limited text, but your child will probably just enjoy turning the colorful pages to watch the face appear and then disappear.
