BEDTIME FOR MONSTERS

In this hilarious bedtime story, a monster is licking his lips . . . maybe he's thinking about eating a bedtime snack? And what if that snack just happened to be you? Gulp! He's getting closer and closer . . . and his tummy is rumbling really loudly. Kids will laugh along as they learn that all this monster really wants is a sloppy monster-sized goodnight kiss!

LITERACY TIP

Rhymes help teach your child many new words that they may not hear in everyday conversation. Hearing and understanding many words helps children sound them out when they are learning to read. Use Monsters Porridge Hot, and the other rhymes provided in your storytime kits, to talk about words and rhymes with your students. Ask children to find the words that rhyme.
