A delightful role-reversal picturebook story

When it's his bedtime, a little boy is ready to say goodnight and climb the stairs to his bedroom. But Father isn't ready! He's afraid of monsters and doesn't want to be left alone downstairs! But the boy knows just how to handle this and leads his father through the bedtime routine which includes looking in the closet, behind the drapes, and everywhere in between if it will make his anxious father feel better. After the bedtime story it's time for lights out. Father should feel more comfortable now -- but what will happen when he has to go downstairs alone? Strongly recommended, especially for family picturebook collections, No Monsters Here is a delightful role-reversal picturebook story by Sharon Jennings that is very nicely illustrated by Ruth Ohi (who includes a father monster and his son!) so that young readers can become more comfortable when it's time for them to go to bed.
