Molly and the Night Monster

Description

A beautiful reissue of Chris Wormell's stunningly illustrated bedtime story, with a big, reassuring hug of an ending. When Molly wakes up in the middle of the night, she hears the sound of a step on the stairs. It could be a crocodile creeping up to catch her . . . Or a giant giraffe outside on the landing . . . Or an enormous elephant turning the doorknob and opening the door . . . Or even a night monster come to gobble her up . . . But when Molly surprises the tiptoeing beast, she gets an even bigger surprise of her own! This edition is a beautiful reissue of a children's modern classic.

Chris Wormell is an award-winning, well-loved illustrator and storyteller. Most recently, he has illustrated the cover of Philip Pullman's The Book of Dust, and has lent his woodcut style to Dinosaurium. Chris has created many award-winning books, including Molly and the Night Monster (shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal), Two Frogs (winner of the Nestle Bronze Award), and One Smart Fish (winner of the Booktrust Early Years Awards Best Picture Book). His books include the much-loved George and the Dragon and also Scruffy Bear and the Six White Mice (winner of the Children's Book Award).

This is an enchanting bedtime story with a very reassuring ending, perfect for young children being tucked up in bed and those who are perhaps more than a little afraid of the dark and all things that might go bump in the night! -- Louise Ellis-Barrett * Write Away * Chris Wormell delivers a big hug of an ending to his beautifully illustrated book. * Sunday Express *
