On a dark, dark night, Benita is just settling in to enjoy a nice book before bedtime when all of a sudden... Boo! Spooky creatures from Peruvian lore jump keep interrupting her! To the creatures' disbelief, she doesn't look up from her book. Why isn't Benita afraid? Why is she so cranky? And what is this thing called a book? This humorous celebration of bedtime reading puts a global twist on taking the "scary" out of monsters. Spanish edition. Perfect for spooky autumn nights and brave bedtimes all year long
