"Have you ever heard of a monster with horns upon her head creeping down the creaky stairs instead of going to bed?" Belch the Monster doesn't want to go to sleep. She loves to eat tasty treats and play with her toys. As the story counts down from ten minutes to bedtime, with Belch on the prowl, until a cozy resolution when sleep catches up with her. It seems like this little monster is all tuckered out!
Weaving a journey from lively beginning to gentle end, the ten-minute countdown to bed is at the heart of this beautifully illustrated picture book. Kids will giggle at Belch's delaying tactics, from her giant tower of worm-infested jelly for snack to the drum and trumpet she plays! Sharp-eyed readers will also love spotting Belch's beloved stuffie, who accompanies her wherever she goes. This charming picture book is the perfect length for sending little ones off to sleep.
