Goodnight Krampus

"Not a creature was stirring ... except the mischievous Krampus who's too excited to sleep! It's Christmas Eve and Santa has a lot on his plate, but his biggest challenge is convincing little Krampus to go to bed. Brimming with holiday cheer, this is one bedtime story that's good for goodness sake."

Goodnight Krampus is a fun twist on a holiday classic and is sure to get your little one ready for the big day! As another great Hazy Dell book Monster ABC taught us, monsters don't have to be scary--and Krampus is no exception. Re-imagined for young children as a gently mischievous youngster, little Krampus takes the form of an overexcited child on Christmas Eve who's too excited to sleep. Visually inspired by the classic Rankin/Bass stop-motion Christmas movies, this bedtime story is a whimsical ode to Christmas excitement.

Written in thoughtfully crafted verses with a playful lullaby cadence, Goodnight Krampus has become a bedtime favorite in our house for any time of year.
