| Daddy Monster by Andrew Martineau One rainy Saturday morning, Marissa and Marcus decide that they are bored. It is time to wake up Dad and play "Daddy Monster." Dad does not want to play. He wants to sleep, but Mom is downstairs working on the computer. As Marcus is spilling cereal all over the kitchen floor and Marissa is telling him to clean up the mess, Daddy Monster sneaks up on them. They pretend to run for their lives! Marissa takes the game a little too far, and Dad gets angry. When Dad realizes he is turning into a real life "daddy monster," they all learn an important lesson about feelings and self-control. |

| When Shadows Fill Your Room by Andrew Martineau When shadows fill your room at night, how do you make them go away? Do you chase them, or do you stay tight beneath your covers and wait for the morning light? Through rhyming poetry, this book offers advice to children who may be afraid of their own shadows and need assurance that their own scary shadows will go away if they stay tucked in bed, close their eyes and drift off to sleep. |
