本書以經典搖籃曲〈Hush, Little Baby〉為靈感，加入幽默又可愛的怪物元素，為睡前時光帶來輕鬆的驚喜。怪物爸爸低聲為小怪物唱歌，承諾送上的不是鑽戒或嘲諷，而是貓頭鷹、吸血鬼、食人魔，甚至殭屍輪番登場，陪伴孩子入睡。看似「嚇人」的角色，其實一個比一個溫柔，隨著夜色流轉，故事慢慢安靜下來，直到天亮。由Denis Markell以朗讀感十足的韻文寫成，搭配Melissa Iwai色彩柔和又帶點俏皮的插畫，讓本書成為適合親子共讀的睡前繪本。A classic lullaby gets a playfully spooky spin in this monstrously sweet picture book. Hush, Little Monster, don’t you howl. Daddy’s gonna give you a…screeching owl. If that owl won’t say “whoo whoo”…Granny Ghost will bring you a big, bad boo! A monster father softly sings his own version of a favorite lullaby to his son. A screeching owl, a vampire, an ogre, and zombies are just a few of the creatures who will come to soothe Little Monster through the night, until (when the sun comes up) it’s finally time for him to go to sleep. Parents and children alike will love this humorous twist on “Hush, Little Baby.”
