Description

Every parent knows the drill: tuck in, well, okay, one story then, but short… and so it starts.

This is a short story.
Why short?
You need to go to sleep. The story is about you. You went to sleep. End of story.
Yes, but first I caught a monster.
A monster?
Just watch.

Why short?

Just watch.

A boy keeps outsmarting the parent who wants to finish the story. But in the end, the parent doesn’t want to stop narrating either.
This picture book is not just for reading. It is also a wonderful read-together book: the interaction between the hurried adult and the child, who pushes him to continue storytelling, will bring much joy.
