About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is convinced that something mysterious is hiding in the shadows of their bedroom or under the bed at night. It is a perfect tool for de-escalating nighttime anxieties through humor and rhythmic play. The story follows a skeptical little bear who repeatedly insists that various spooky creatures do not exist, only to find himself right in the middle of a monster party. By framing the scary elements within a festive and silly context, the book helps children aged 3 to 7 transition from fear to curiosity. Parents will appreciate how the rhythmic, rhyming text provides a predictable structure that feels safe, even when the subject matter involves ghosts and skeletons. It is an excellent choice for normalizing the imagination while teaching children that sometimes the things we fear are just looking for a bit of fun.
