Dark, Dark Night, The by M. Christina Butler; 2019. Hardcover (Ch-PIC)

Woo-woo! the wind blew in the trees. Squeak-squeak! went the lanterns. And the dark was all around.

After a long winter sleep, Frog can't wait to get back to his pond. But just before jumping into the water, something startles him-then sends him running back to the woods. A HUGE Pond Monster with enormous claws!

Will Frog ever get a chance to swim in his pond again? And will he and his friends figure out who the Pond Monster really is?

With a vibrant text and atmospheric artwork, this book illustrates perfectly how some things are not as scary as they seem.
