# I Will Read to You: A Story about Books, Bedtime, and Monsters - Hardcover

by **Gideon Sterer** (Author), **Charles Santoso** (Illustrator)

**A gentle blend of spooky and sweet, _I Will Read to You_ is a unique rhyming bedtime tale about empathy, storytime...and monsters.**

Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved stories--scary ones about skeletons and witches, giants and ghosts, vampires, dragons, mummies and goblins. But he wondered...do monsters have anyone to read to _them_? Armed with only a book and a flashlight (and with his bemused mother in tow), he travels through the night, calling together every monster he can think of to make sure they get the bedtime story they need.

Delightfully spooky and surprisingly tender, _I Will Read to You_ celebrates monsters, stories, and the way a good book can bring us together.

(Don't forget to find the little orange monster hidden on almost every page!)
