Benita loves to read in bed but keeps getting interrupted by a whistling Tunche, a scary Supay and other spooky creatures from Peruvian lore. To the creatures' disbelief, Benita is so absorbed by her book that she's not the least bit scared of them. This humorous celebration of bedtime reading puts a global twist on taking the "scary" out of monsters, now in Spanish!

      Benita is wrapped up in her reading and not bothered by the night creatures who try to frighten her at bedtime. Annoyed at the growing crowd of would-be scarers, she yells, "DON'T YOU SEE I'M READING A BOOK?" Intrigued, the monsters ask Benita to read to them. Now all engrossed, they yell "SHHHH!" to latecomer Yanapuma, who instead of scaring everyone joins the storytime. Boldly colored pencil and digital illustrations pop against mostly black backdrops. Young book lovers will relate to Benita's devotion to reading and be amused by the friendly night creatures, who are all based on Peruvian legends. Concurrently published in Spanish as Benita y las criaturas nocturnas. Monica de los Reyes
