“Young book lovers will relate to Benita’s devotion to reading and be amused by the friendly night creatures, who are all based on Peruvian legends” – The Horn Book Magazine

“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 Endnotes provide more information on Peru and the creatures featured in the story
