Night after night, neighbourhood monsters creep into Winifred Schnitzel’s room trying to scare her. Some growl; some belch. Some are slimy, some hairy. Good thing Winifred thinks monsters are cute!
Still, all of the monster mayhem is keeping Winifred awake, and that simply won’t do. But how will Winifred turn the tables and scare her monsters away?

Join Winifred who isn’t afraid of monsters however is plagued by monsters visiting her each night to attempt to scare her. They keep her awake all night, night after night so she decides to try to get them to stop.
Boo Roo and Tigger Too’s thoughts…
I really loved how this was a story not about how a child is scared of monsters but one that thought that they were cute although they were keeping her awake at night and just wanted a good nights sleep. Tigger enjoyed listening to the attempts of sticky webs etc. to rid her room of monsters. The ending made me giggle and Tigger agree with the monsters.
