I was so excited to see a monster book whose protagonist was someone other than a white kid, and I really wanted it to be good. Lucky me, I got what I wanted! Fredrickson makes this rhyming text work perfectly, and Robertson is equally adept at drawing little girls and monsters. Winifred Schnitzel is a smart, brave, resourceful young girl who wouldn't mind the monster infestation in her room if they would just let her GET SOME SLEEP. After all, nodding off in your ballet class (or into your breakfast) is not great. But when research and trap construction fail, Winifred must find another strategy for chasing away the sleep-depriving creatures. And she does, with an ending that will amuse kids to no end.
