The funny illustrations are made by Kees de Boer, his monsters are fantastic! The story is recognizable to every parent (and child), it starts like this: This story is short. Why? Because it's bedtime and you're going to sleep when the story is over. But...first I caught a monster. This is also called drawing lines :)))
