    <body><![CDATA[This classic tries to get kids to realize that if they face their fears, they'll learn there wasn't anything to worry about. A little boy has a monster, a.k.a. nightmare, living in his closet. He decides to get rid of it, and scares the nightmare so badly that it won't stop crying. So he tucks it in his bed and they become friends (with a funny joke at the end).<br/><br/>I've read this to a lot of children, and nine times out of ten they LOVE it and I have to read it repeatedly. But occasionally there's a kid who gets terrified by the picture of a nightmare creeping toward the boy in the dark. So be ready to explain that monsters don't exist, or that this is all in the boy's imagination, and preface the reading by explaining that the boy needs to realize he shouldn't be afraid.]]></body>
