About this book

The sun is setting, the day is done and it’s bedtime for little monsters everywhere. 

Dracula is brushing his teeth, Medusa has washed and dried her snakes, and the goblins have settled in for the night. And in a softy-lit house, decorated with plant pots and photo frames, Mummy Blob gently ushers her precious slimeball into a lovely damp bed for cuddles. 

In Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob, Welsh author and illustrator Aaron Hue has brilliantly taken a classic bedtime story idea and twisted it by using charming, grotesque characters. 

From werewolves and brains to mummies and cyborgs, this tale is filled with wickedly silly creatures to giggle at. But these villains and monsters are not spooky or mean at all; in fact, they’re all rather sweet. They all brush their teeth, change into cosy pyjamas and get tucked into bed, just like us. 

A mischievous rhyming book that will both disgust and delight sleepy human monsters.
