Troubled with squishy-looking beasties under the bed? Are you being followed by a "wolfish toothy group"? Granny knows how to handle these difficulties - get the beasties counting! But this eventually leads to wet miserable beasties outside trying to count raindrops. They could use a friend! This rhyming story is a calming bedtime read and a lesson in friendship. Recipe for "beastly good" chocolate chip cookies included. Won a 2016 Purple Dragonfly First Place Award for Picture Books-6 & Older, and a 2016 Purple Dragonfly Honorable Mention for Best Illustrations.
