During the Night

About the Book

It’s bedtime. You are under the covers, ready to go to sleep. You feel like something or someone is in the room with you. You peek over the top of your blanket and…there it is! What could it be? It frightens you, but you have to keep taking a peek at it to see what it is.

During the Night is filled with suspense. The rhyming, repetitive, and predictable nature of the story will have even the youngest child joining in to “read” and guess what the character will see the next time he peeks over his blanket.
