Description

Amir is worried about the little monster lurking under the bed. What if it tries to eat him up?! And what if that monster has a dad and a mom too? As Amir’s dad tucks him in, Amir wonders if the monster might just become a friend instead... This classic bedtime fear is hilariously brought to life by award-winning author Elizabeth Laird and Finnish illustrator Jenny Luncander.

This is such a beautiful book! I could enjoy it just from looking at the illustrations. What a nice story to read to a child who is feeling fearful at night. Great story.

Stunning artwork. A great dad with a solution for everything and a vivid imagination to match his child’s. This is a book about overcoming fear, fear of that all-too-common bedtime monster. The colors are gorgeous, and the monsters imaginative and scary without being soul-crushingly frightening. At least they’re not so scary that it would be unimaginable that they could end up friendly and cuddly.
