The House on Merryhill
There’s a house on Merryhill…that has given me a scare! Is it full of ghosts and monsters? Should my dog and I beware? From the author of Little Monster Needs a Nap, comes a new spooky rhyming picture book about the power of imagination and change. What do you think is going on inside that house on Merryhill?
Little Monster Needs a Nap
The story of a little monster who has been acting out by terrorizing his fellow housemates in their spooky monster-filled mansion. With the help of a friendly ghost, Little Monster learns how others use napping as a tool to regulate their moods and better process big emotions- while still having time to enjoy their day.
