An illustrated picture book about a boy facing his fear. One night, as he is settling down for sleep, a boy hears a scary sound. Was it a growl? He uses his flashlight to see if there is a bear somewhere. Under his bed? Down the hall? In the living room? His imagination plays tricks with him in the shadows until he discovers the surprising source of the sound. Fiction. 34 pages.
My girlfriend's 4 year old is in love with this book which is mildly suspenseful and funny and really fuels a young child's imagination. He's already had me read it to him maybe nine times and I do like to voice out some of the suspenseful parts which he really enjoys. He knows the book so well by now that when I ask him who wrote it he recites the author's name as well!
