'All creatures grim and evil, under the tired sun, are settling down - and so must you, my horrible little one…'
It’s time to go to bed, and whether you are a phantom, a vampire, a Dark Lord or a yeti, you still must brush your teeth, put on your pyjamas, and settle down with a cosy story.
Warm, loving and slimy, Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob is a rhyming delight, ending with a kiss and sweet dreams for all.
Welsh author, illustrator and graphic novelist Aaron has flipped the traditional bedtime story on its head to create a delightfully different rhyming tale about child monsters and villains settling down for the night. But, rather than causing a fright, it brims with just the right amount of loving cosiness to help mini humans drift off. - Observer
