New Writing: "The Monsters Bedtime Book"

This weekend, when I sat down to create another idea for a picture book, what came out was the entire picture book.  Or at least the words for an entire picture book.  Now, of course, I need to create the pictures for it.  But I love the words so much, I decided to share them. So without further ado, here is "The Monsters Bedtime Book".

The sun is up.  It’s getting late. So please, little monsters, don’t hesitate. It’s time to go to bed. Brush out your fur. Wipe down your scales. Sharpen your talons.  Cover your tails. It’s time to go to bed. Do one big stretch.  Do one stretch more. Then scurry behind the closet door. It’s time to go to bed. Mommies and Daddies everywhere Will give you a kiss and your teddy bear. It’s time to go to bed. The sun is up.  It’s getting late. Please, please, little monsters, don’t hesitate. It’s time to go to bed.
