Reviews

I really enjoyed reading this picture book! It would be great to share with children to show them how their fears can turn into good things. The story is about a child who is scared of the monster under her bed, but it turns out that the monster is also scared of her! A lovely twist to the story to show the monster’s point of view!

A very cute book which does have rhyming texts. This book has a great message for children to consider of what others are doing around them and respect each other’s spaces. Perfect for reception and years 1 & 2
