review 1: “Monster Needs His Sleep” is the second book in the Monster series by Paul Czajak and it is an absolutely wonderful bed time book. In fact, it is an “any time” fun book to read. The story is in a rhyming-type format and the pictures are so colorful. What also makes the book fun is that it’s the kid who is trying to get the monster to go to sleep, instead of Mom & Dad ( a great role reversal). The Monster makes all kinds of excuses for not going to sleep and these same excuses will probably sound very familiar to any child reading the book with their parents. The author Paul Czajak, who once got an “F” on his college writing paper, has done an excellent job in making a story about bed time such fun, and illustrator Wendy Grieb’s pictures are very appeali... moreng and even energetic. Although the target age is preschool through kindergarten, this is a great book for all kids. I eagerly look forward to the other “monster” books in this series!

review 2: Like many of us, Monster has a few fears, and he avoids his fear of the dark by avoiding having to go to sleep. The narrator comes up with all sorts of ways to comfort and distract him until finally, both of them can slip off into slumber. The rhyming lines and vividly-colored illustrations add to the book's fun. Many readers will be able to relate to how Monster doesn't want to admit to being afraid. less

Playful, rhyming, clever take on the bed time ritual. Engaging and captures the spirit perfectly.

I am getting kind of tired of monster books, and the rhyme seemed forced at times for me.

Monster plays all the tricks little ones do to try to resist going to bed.
