LYLA TOV MONSTERS, designed by 3-year-old Lyla Black, are protectors of a good night’s sleep. Each Lyla Tov (which means “good night” in Hebrew) Monster has a unique personality and attitude, but they all have the ability to scare off the monsters in kids’ lives by making them feel safe and secure before they fall asleep. Charlotte has a happy, smiling face, bowed pigtails, and a purple and pink color palette. She can lighten kids’ spirits and calm their nerves before bedtime. Forrest is always on guard in case there’s a bump in the night or a scary shadow. He protects kids day and night and has a vibrant color palette. Madeline, a very spunky monster, is always ready to play and have fun. She’s covered in lots of fun patterns from stripes to polka dots and has blond hair. Squonk is a kids’ best friend who is always ready to play and cuddle when kids are in need. He’s decked out in blue and features a quirky smile. Charlotte
