I'm Lily Tomlin and today I'm reading  Hey, That's My Monster

written by Amanda Knoll  and illustrated by Howard McWilliam.

Tonight, when I looked under the bed for my monster, I found this note instead.

But someone sure DID need a monster - my little sister Emma.

Now that Emma slept in a toddler bed, she like to...

...climb out, roam the house, and play noisy games at night.

I knew a monster would keep her in bed so she could fall asleep.

I tiptoed across the hall to Emma's room.

and leaped onto Emma's bed  before Gabe could grab my toes.

But you know what?  I like you, kid, so I'll give you three chances.

This monster sounds scary enough for Emma.

"Icky!" she laughed, wiping one of the monster's noses.

"Excuse me," I said to the mucus monster.

"By dabe is Agatha," she said through stuffed noses.

But I think we need a monster with claws."

She knocked on the floor - with a teapot this time -

Then a slippery tail slithered out from under the bed.

The second monster rasped, "I'm Cynthia."

Much better, I thought when I saw the jagged claws.

Cynthia might be the perfect monster for Emma.

Then she decorated Cynthia's tail with bracelets.

Cynthia rattled louder, but Emma danced to the beat.

"Well, I never!" she sniffed, and then she was gone.

Maybe that would summon the perfect monster for Emma.

Tentacles swarmed from under the bed, and an icy voice called, "Whooooo......"

I shrank back in horror, but Emma was enchanted.

"Whooooo's out of bed?" the monster continued.

Emma high-fived one of the tentacles, and the third monster emerged.

I already had doubts about this one, but he was my last chance.

"Yes-s-s-s," he hissed, reaching for Emma.

Emma giggled and hopped over the tentacles like jump ropes.

Vlad's tentacles drooped, he slunk under the bed, and he was gone.

"Blabamir, bla, bla, Cymfia, ya ya, Agafa, fa, fa..."
