About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is suddenly hesitant to turn off the lights or expresses new, vivid fears about the 'bumps in the night' after hearing stories from friends. It is a perfect tool for validating the very real anxiety children feel when their imagination outpaces their logic, providing a bridge between 'being a baby' and finding 'big kid' courage. In this installment, the hilariously relatable Junie B. Jones hears a rumor at school about monsters under the bed and becomes convinced one is waiting for her. The story follows her frantic, funny, and ultimately empowering journey as she tries to outsmart her fears with the help of her family and her trusty vacuum cleaner. It is an ideal read for ages 6 to 9, offering a humorous perspective that makes scary topics feel manageable and silly rather than overwhelming.
