Is your child worried about the monster under the bed?
Would a book of strategies on dealing with them be useful?
Help is at hand because a whole team of scientists at the
Goodnight Laboratory have been doing some really serious science
and have come up with this essential guide…
Lots of children go through a phase
of being frightened by monsters under the bed, after all what
might lurk in those dark spaces?! This colorfully illustrated
picture book is the ideal bedtime companion with its mix of
helpful ideas and humor. From the opening pages showing a
team of childlike scientists beavering away among the test
tubes and bottled monsters to the last pictures of blissfully
sleeping children there are some very parent friendly suggestions
in here. Monsters apparently hate tidy rooms, brushed teeth
and clean children – who knew? Some monsters aren’t
worth being scared of anyway – particularly one shaped
like a giant donut! Hairy monsters spend all night in front
of the mirror playing with your brushes and combs, dancing
robots don’t exist and monsters’ arms aren’t
strong enough for grabbing ankles. Still scared? Tell yourself
a joke when you hear that creaking floorboard, or hiss like
a snake. This book certainly had me laughing and is sure to
amuse worried children too. If they are still apprehensive
the book turns into a monster forcefield around your home
once closed and even works on monsters that lurk in cupboards.
With a few words on each page and plenty of colorful, amusing,
non scary and modern illustrations this is a great book for
sharing, and using for reading practice. I just wish I had
a donut monster under my bed…
