The Toothbrush Monster ¦ The Bedtime Beast

Both these stories, labelled 'The Baddies', deal with the problem of children who are reluctant to do what their parents want (i.e. clean their teeth or go to bed). They are attractive, easy to handle and give a realistic view of parents struggling to help children get ordinary, everyday things done. In fact, although the books may amuse children, it may be that parents will benefit more from them. Well, why not? Parents need all the help they can get!
