Review

Do you have monsters under your bed?  If so, you might want to read this book and learn how to take control of that monster especially if he wants to do some work.

While I had not heard of the tale this is based on, I love how it is a great story to help any little ones that fear they have a monster under their bed or in their closet or somewhere in their room. Give it chores to do and keep it busy and then when you are done with it, banish it to another room.

The illustrations are spot on and while the monster is ugly it isn’t frightening.

This would be a good book to read to young children to address any fears they might have whether it is monsters under the bed or something else.

We give this book 5 paws up.
