Goodreads

When Natalie and Alphonse’s parents have a night out at the theater, the siblings are all set to have an exciting night at Granny’s. It is quickly decided that this will include writing and performing a play of their own.  As they work on the play, creative differences and logistical issues lead to some big feelings.  Will the show go on?

The illustrations in this book are absolutely adorable; like Lucy Cousins books but with monsters. The story has some odd pacing and is somewhat difficult to read out loud. This is the fourth book in a series featuring the monster siblings, and fans who are familiar with Natalie and Alphonse will most likely enjoy this one as well.
