About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with nighttime fears or feeling intimidated by something they cannot see. Guy Bass uses humor to dismantle the scary power of monsters by turning them into competitive, ridiculous figures rather than shadows under the bed. This silly chapter book follows a cast of monsters as they compete to be the scariest, ultimately showing that even the things we fear have their own silly insecurities and flaws. It is an ideal bridge for early readers (ages 7 to 10) who are ready for longer stories but still need a lighter, comedic touch to navigate spooky themes. Parents will appreciate how it uses laughter to normalize anxiety and empower children to reclaim their imagination from their fears.
