On a moonless night, two brave siblings face down a band of slobbery, stinky monsters... armed only with soap, toothpaste, and a solid bedtime routine.

Jack and Joy are ready for bed-but the monsters are hungry! They're on the prowl for sticky fingers, dirty feet, and unbrushed teeth. Fortunately, these two kids are the cleanest in town. And that's bad news for the monsters.

Perfect for:

- Bedtime stories with a twist

- Halloween read-alouds with laughs (not frights!)

- Teaching kids about hygiene in a fun, engaging way

- Children ages 3-8 who love silly monsters, rhymes, and mischief

Packed with playful rhymes and laugh-out-loud moments, this bedtime story turns bubble baths and toothbrushing into monster-fighting superpowers. Because when you're clean... stink-loving monsters don't stand a chance.

It's perfect for easing hygiene battles and bedtime routines, all while enthralling kids with a monsteriffic bedtime story.

So scrub-a-dub, brush with might,

and send those monsters home in fright!
