The Mouse Who Braved Bedtime

by Louis Baum, Sue Hellard (Illustrator)

Every night, Milo the mouse has nightmares about a monster with huge, scary teeth and gleaming eyes. Milo's family offers suggestions to keep his bad dreams away: a warm glass of milk, a bit of exercise, but nothing helps . . . until the night Milo faces his fears and makes a very surprising discovery.

This charming, perfectly paced story speaks to the frightened little mouse in all of us and what happens when we stand up to our own scary monsters.

This would be a good book to read to a child who is struggling with bad dreams. Milo the mouse learns to face his fears head-on.

Side note: for some reason, the fact that there is a mouse named Logan in this book was incredibly funny to me.

This story is about a cute little mouse who decides to face his fear and face his monster. Once he faces his fears he realizes that he can turn the thing he has been scared of into a friend. I cute little story for younger children.
