Murray’s boss, the Dream King, hasheard about his goofing off on the job, and now Murray is on probation.Murray’s supervisor, fellow monster Wanda, is not happy with him either. After all, every monster knows that when a child is born, a monster is assignedto watch over her — not to play with her toys and especially not to get caughtin the act! What will happen when Emily has all her friends over for asleepover to try to capture Murray?
