It's time to go to sleep, but George is afraid to turn off the lights. His sister, Anna, however, marches boldly into his room. George can't go to sleep, he says, because there's a monster under the bed, and indeed there is: a tiny purple guy who can't sleep either. Layer by layer, George, Anna, and their growing contingent of monsters make their way through the house e monster under the table is afraid of the monster under the gravel, who's afraid of the monster under the dirt til they get to the monster at the center of the earth. But wait, there's nothing underneath him, so what could he be afraid of? Cornell (The Terrible Two Get Worse, 2016) uses his signature cartoon style and bug-eyed characters to great effect: the illustrations are done in a dark palette, and the house has a distinctly creepy feel, while the multihued, Muppet-like monsters are the opposite of scary. Prime material for putting nighttime fears d maybe even some kids bed.
