My Monster Mama Loves Me So

by Laura Leuck Illustrated by Mark Buehner

"She tucks me tightly into bed,
then asks me id my spider's fed
and hangs my favorite bat above me.
That's how I know my mama loves me!"

At once tender and funny, this monster bedtime story is guaranteed to generate giggles, tickles, and plenty of monster hugs. Mark Buehner, beloved for his illustrations for Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm and A Job for Wittilda, creates colorful (and monstrous) fun in his pictures.
