Description
A unique monster-under-the-bed story with a perfect balance of giggles and shivers, this picture book relies on humor over fear to appeal to a child's love for creatures both alarming and absurd. When Ethan checks under his bed for his monster, Gabe, he finds a note from him instead - "Gone fishing. Back in a week." Without Gabe's familiar nightly scares, Ethan struggles to sleep. Ethan tries out potential substitutes, but none of them prove scary enough. He interviews creatures with pointy teeth, sharp claws, and long tails, but they all fall short. When Gabe returns sooner than expected from his fishing trip, Ethan is thrilled to have his monster back. It turns out that Gabe didn't enjoy fishing because the fish scared too easily. This charming story celebrates the power of a child's imagination and the importance of humor in overcoming fears. With its lighthearted tone and engaging storyline, it's sure to entertain children and parents alike.
