About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is suddenly wary of shadows, strange noises, or the dark corners of your home. It is a perfect choice for the preschooler who has begun to develop a more active imagination and finds themselves spooked by the unknown. In this story, Babar's children hear mysterious noises coming from the attic and convince themselves that a monster has moved into the castle. The book beautifully normalizes the experience of childhood fear by showing how a small noise can spiral into a big worry. As the elephant family works together to investigate, children learn about the power of perspective and bravery. It is a gentle, comforting read that provides a safe space for parents to discuss the difference between what we imagine and what is real, making it an excellent tool for easing bedtime anxieties.
