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 children's love for creatures both alarming and absurd. When Ethan checks under his bed for his monster, Gabe, he finds a note instead: "Gone fishing. Back in a week." Without Gabe's familiar nightly scares, Ethan struggles to sleep. Ethan tries out different monsters as substitutes, but none of them prove scary enough. He interviews potential candidates 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. This charming story celebrates the power of a child's imagination and the importance of familiar comforts in our lives. With its lighthearted tone and humorous take on bedtime fears, it's sure to bring a smile to children's faces.
