Marie is afraid of the dark because three monsters come out at night and torment her. She learns that the monsters are afraid of the moon, so she bring a piece of the moon into her room to keep them away. Her plan works, but causes problems because there is no bright moon to light up the sky. What will she do? If she puts back the moon, the scary monsters might come back!
Adorable children's book about a little girl who is terrorized by three monsters every night. She develops a plan, but the result causes problems for others. Cute story.
I adored this book. It may just be because the combination of little kids and cats are adorable, but I also genuinely think it is creative idea. The book is for a younger audience, probably first grade and bellow. I think any cat lover would madly fall in love with this book, but also a book for all types of kids. The images are simple, but still adorable. I highly recommended this book.
I'm trying to move my almost-5 year old to her own room (yes, she co-sleeps. Yes, I love it. Yes, I regret it. But sometimes sleep is more important than being right). As she is using the whole "monsters in my room" to avoid sleeping alone, I thought that monster books might be good. This one is cute, well-written and beautifully illustrated.
Probably not terribly helpful as an instantiation of the helping-kids-deal-with-fears genre of picture books; more like a piece of folklore about how cats came to live with humans. I liked it, but I wasn't a kid who was afraid of the dark or monsters.
