      The reason why I would like to win this giveaway is because this book would be great for several children in the family. Everyone has gone through being afraid of the dark and of monsters as a child, so I think the kids in my family would get a lot from this book. I think bedtime stories are great to help you wind down and relax, whether you’re a child or an adult.

      I think it is comforting to have a bedtime ritual to prepare your youngster to go to sleep and a good bedtime story is always an appropriate part of the routine.

      Bedtime stories are extremely important for developing a love of reading and learning in our children. Since Monsters are very real for young children, “What to do About Monsters” should help them deal with their fears. My grand daughter is going through a phase of night terrors, so I think this book might be helpful in easing her hears.

      Both myself and my grown daughters have such good memories of reading before bedtime. Fill young minds with good thoughts then say goodnight. No its time for the grandchildren.

      I love reading books to the grandkids over the phone or even on the computer whenever I do it they are always so attentive just like the kids in my class were. I am a retired teacher and even though i am battling a disease I love reading to kids and this is a perfect book to read to them. Reading is so important for the kids and even before covid we should of been reading to them every night i loved to do it to my kids and now my 10 grandkids. t Christmas time we send an advent calender and we enclose a book to 20 grandkids,nieces and nephews plus friends whose kids are close to us. They love looking forward to getting another book from us.

      Bedtime stories have always been our time to read and talk about the day’s events. Plus, it’s a good time to snuggle while reading.
