The pictures in this book are fabulous and the story moves along, quickly enough. I felt the book was a little too talkative. This picture book has lot of characters speaking. If your youngster(s)like action picture books, then this one isn't for them. But if your little one likes to hear you make up voices for the characters, then this book is the perfect fit.The invention of a little monster that makes knots in the little girl's hair while she's sleeping was ingenious. However, the main drawback is the parent has to make up several voices for these characters when they talk to distinguish them for the child. Had the author just told the story in a narrative format: for example, the little girl talked to the knot monster and he told her that he liked to play in her hair... and so on, it would be easier for a drowsy parent to read to the sleeping-time child.This is just my personal preference. There are a lot of stars in the sky and pebbles on the beach so there's room on this earth for this warm little story.Papa DeanAuthor ofRevenge of the Video Game
