Overview

The topics of nightmares, monsters, and being afraid at night are often raised in children. Being a preschool teacher, Emma planned a lesson for the children to create their own monsters to keep the bad dreams away. The two teachers decided to join forces to create this book to accompany the project. Feedback from parents was phenomenal. They reported their children were no longer afraid of nighttime or the closet door. Their little pillow-like monster became a travel companion and best friend. Some parents reported that they made ""monster families"" for extras. My Monster Under the Bed empowers children by letting them take action and have some control over their fears. They can be creative and invent their own monster to keep under their bed, lay with them, or go to new and potentially scary places.
