sleep

The specter of a disfigured man haunts the children of the parents who murdered him, stalking and killing them in their dreams.

When Ethan can't sleep, he doesn't count sheep; he says his ABCs. But in monster-loving Ethan's alphabet, A is for Arms, B is for Belly, C is for Claws, and D is for Drool! Kids will love pointing out the alphabetical attributes on the silly monsters that parade across Ethan's room; like earlobes, noses, spikes, and wings and discovering where all of those monsters are headed. By the time Ethan gets to Y, he's Yawning. And by Z, kids will be ready to sleep as Ethan does, surrounded by the tails, tentacles, and drool sticking out from under his bed.
