Something under the bed is shaking. In the dark bedroom, your character listens, looks, and finally says hello. The answer changes everything: the monster is frightened too, and waits for someone else to speak first. A place that looks like a hiding spot is no comfort when darkness is the problem. Now the two must work out how to face a room that frightens them both.
For you if bedtime needs a funny, tender truce with the dark.
What is inside this book?
The twelve pages begin with shaking beneath a bed and turn toward a conversation about a shared fear. You read one or two short sentences per page. Bright, boldly outlined illustrations make the bedroom and its hidden occupant visible, while the writing changes the meaning of the disturbance once someone finally says hello.
Who is this one for?
Choose this if you want a tender, funny encounter with something that initially seems frightening. It fits someone you know who likes misunderstood monsters and the awkwardness of starting a conversation. The shared fear gives it a companionable mood for bedtime and a gentler way to approach the dark.
The Monster Who Was Scared of the Dark is a personalized illustrated storybook of twelve pages about meeting a frightened bedroom monster.
