Don't be frightened of Big Green Monster, or any other monster, for that matter.  Turn the pages of this special book and learn to use your powerful imagination to show Big Green Monster just who's in charge -- you!

Tom rides his bike to work every day.  On the way, he passes trucks, buses, & lots of cars, people, monkeys, & acrobats, tigers, lions, & elephants... Can you guess where Tom works?  Wait until you see what he rides when he's there!

It's bedtime, and the other sheep in the flock have turned in for the night.  But Russell can't sleep.  He tries making it darker.  He tries making it cooler.  He tries a different pillow.  Nope, nope, and nope.  Maybe if he counts the stars -- all six hundred million billion and ten of them -- he'll get sleepy.  NOPE!  Then he has an idea that's so perfect, it makes his hat go ziggy-zaggy!

While Bear slumbers in his cave through the long, cold winter, Mouse, Hare, Badger and some other forest friends make tea and popcorn and have a full-fledged party in his lair!  What will Bear do when he wakes up to discover he's the unwitting host of a soiree that he's been left out of?

In his dark, quiet room, a little boy is trying to sleep, but that noisy tiger in his closet is making it impossible for him to snooze!  First, Tiger is noisily crunching on potato chips; then, he's bouncing a playground ball...  He evens plays music as a one-man (one-tiger?) band!  Will the boy ever manage to get Tiger to quiet down?

A few clues and a die-cutout that peeks through to the next page provide a preschool-level challenge for youngsters to sharpen their recognition of farm animals.  This book is fun with a crowd but would be equally fun one-on-one with a special grown-up.
