About the author
Ross Collins
181 books44 followersRoss was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1972.
He would eat anything and resembled a currant bun.
As he grew up he was fond of drawing, the Bionic Man and precariously swinging backwards on chairs.
He graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 1994 with a First in Illustration. In the same year he won the MacMillan Children's Book Prize an achievement that opened many doors in the Big Smoke.
Ross then spent two years in London cultivating an exotic image of the scribbling Scotsman abroad.
Longing for the cold and damp of the North, Ross returned to Glasgow, where he spends his time writing and illustrating children's books, doing animation character development, walking the dug by the banks of Loch Lomond and precariously swinging backwards on chairs.

From the author of our much beloved book Germs comes the story of a young boy with a loose tooth who goes to bed. In creeps the Sandman to help him off to sleep, but he's interrupted by the Tooth Fairy who gets interrupted by some ghosts. Then the thing-beneath-the-bed makes an appearance, as does Santa Claus. A fight gets started among all this night time visitors until the little boy wakes up and tells everyone to leave HE'S TRYING TO SLEEP!
Very cute illustrations.

Can't a kid just get a little piece and quiet when its time for bed?? Not when he is visited by all creatures great and small that come out at night. I had no clue how persistent the tooth fairy could be?
