Fun and Games Outside The Basement Picture Book Story Idea

Two monsters named Carl and Joey live in a dark cold basement. One day the Butlers, the human family that lives upstairs, goes on vacation for two days which means that they can venture upstairs. Carl and Joey start to play games and cause mischief around the house. They play basketball in the bathroom. They play hockey in the living room. They wrestle in the kitchen. They even ride the Butlers’ two big dogs like horses and have a big race around the entire house. Carl and Joey even play video games on the Butlers’ huge TV. 

Carl and Joey realize that all their fun destroyed the Butlers’ house. They start to clean up the mess they made. The Butlers return home from their vacation and Carl and Joey head back to the basement as they sleep next to the warm space heater behind some boxes.
