Mornings are never easy - especially when the monsters from last night’s dreams want to stay and play!
Bartholomew struggles to get himself ready as the monsters from last night’s dreams sabotage the most simple of morning routines. A vast purple monster sits on his chest, making it hard to get up. A slug monster slimes his clothes, so he can’t get dressed. Brushing teeth, eating breakfast, and even going to the toilet all present challenges as the monsters mess around at Bartholomew’s expense. Will Bartholomew’s dad ever manage to get him out the door?
Hilarious illustrations bring Bartholomew’s frustration and befuddlement alive in this deceptively simple story that anyone who is not a morning person is bound to relate to.

L G, Educator
This one will be good for lots of laughs. Bartholomew's nighttime monsters are many, varied, and quite the party animals.--so much so that they're not inclined to stop the party when morning comes, and instead make Bartholomew's morning routine a comedy of errors.
There is some mild potty humor, but nothing I would consider inappropriate for the classroom. The illustrations were busy and colorful, though they felt a little low-resolution/sketch-style, which sometimes felt a bit flat.
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
