Book Overview

The National Education Association's Read Across America October 2024 Elementary Pick!

"Booo!" screamed Cuco, and the tree outside the window shivered.
"You too!" Benita replied, and she flipped a page.

On a dark, dark night, Benita is just settling in to enjoy a nice book before bedtime when all of a sudden... Boo! Spooky creatures from Peruvian lore jump keep interrupting her! To the creatures' disbelief, she doesn't look up from her book. Why isn't Benita afraid? Why is she so cranky? And what is this thing called a book? This humorous celebration of bedtime reading puts a global twist on taking the "scary" out of monsters.
  • Perfect for spooky autumn nights and brave bedtimes all year long
