Like many human children, Cucuy, the little monster, doesnt like to go to bed. Im not sleepy, he says. All I want to do is jump around and play!
He tries to run and hide, but Mamá manages to get him into his pajamas. Every night he kicks and screams, wiggles and jiggles, mumbles and grumbles. Hes hungry, hes thirsty. He needs to go to the bathroom. But Mamá wont give in. Tomorrow you will have a whole new day to jump around and play, she tells her little monster, until finally he
drifts
off
to
sleep.
Children ages 3 to 7 will delight in the travails of poor Cucuy, the little monster who doesnt like to go to sleep. And they might just see themselves as Cucuy protests but ultimately does fall asleep. Author Claudia Galindo and illustrator Jonathan Coombs once again collaborate on an entertaining picture book for children.
