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.
Why I like this book: I Will Read to You is about a little boy trying to go to sleep who is empathetic towards “monsters.” He gathers them up for a bedtime story in this untraditional Halloween story.
