"Goodnight Moon meets the Addams Family in this deliciously backwards bedtime story and picture book debut by Eisner nominee Sid Sharp. When the sun sinks low most kids get ready for bed, but at Midnight Manor it’s time to get UP! Its residents go about this night the same as every night--completing chores with the goblins in the greenhouse and playing games with the banshees in the basement. When their feet are finally full of jigs, they dance until dawn. The sun comes up, and at last it’s time to say goodnight at Midnight Manor. Midnight Manor is brimming with quirky characters and spooky scenarios in thoroughly domestic settings, from skeletons in the closet to bats in the laundry basket. Equal parts tribute to Edward Gorey and Maurice Sendak, this timeless bedtime book in reverse will delight kids and adults alike with each luxurious page painted in Eisner-nominated artist Sid Sharp’s trademark lush style"-- Provided by publisher.
