Reviews

"Little monsters fear little girls and boys hiding in their rooms in this delightful parody of a nightly bedtime ritual...Newcomer Baker brings humor to a situation that often has children in tears and parents unable to cope." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Add this one to your collection of bedtime books. It's a humorous story that will show kids that even if there is a monster under your bed, it's probably more scared of you than you are of it!" (Hedgie Review from Hedgehog Books)

"Hayes's colorful artwork is clever...Telling a tale from the monster's point of view is an enticing concept." (School Library Journal)

"Baker's use of role reversal puts a unique spin on the bogeyman story line that should delight young readers." (Pittsburg Post-Gazette)
