As night falls in Sunny Patch, little Wiggle comes down with a case of the bug-a-boos – or what your child would call monsters in the dark. Mom, (Miss Spider) has the perfect solution; she takes Wiggle on a moonlit walk to calm his nighttime jitters. This listening walk teaches Wiggle that not all the sounds she hears at night are as scary as she perceives.
This bedtime tale, based on the animated series on Nick Jr. (Miss Spider’s Sunny Patch Friends) is destined to become a classic. I adore Kirk’s illustrations and his soothing, lyrical verses. Kirk is a master storyteller.

I'd give this book a higher rating, if it was available in paperback, and a less costly.
