Busy Night — Ross Collins

During what turns out to be one very eventful night, a little boy named Ben is hoping to exchange his loose tooth for something special from the Tooth Fairy, but before she can do her work, she has to get past the Sandman. A turf battle ensues as some ghosts, The-Thing-Under-the-Bed, and even Santa Claus show up to create some nighttime havoc. Only when these precocious characters make enough noise to wake Ben up and hear him shout, "Clear off!" do they get the hint and move on to Mary's house across the street. Parents will appreciate this light-hearted approach to calming nighttime anxiety-what could be better than putting a child to sleep with a laugh and a smile?
