Reach for this book when your child is gripped by the nightly 'monster in the room' anxiety and needs a gentle, collaborative way to deconstruct their fears. It is a perfect choice for kids who have transitioned to their own beds but find the darkness playing tricks on their imagination, leading to stall tactics or genuine distress at bedtime. The story follows Rose as she shares her terror of a big, scary wolf with her father. Rather than dismissing her fears as irrational, Papa enters her imaginary world and helps her transform the wolf from a predator into a silly, harmless guest. This 32-page book is ideal for ages 4 to 7, offering a masterclass in how parents can use play and validation to provide comfort and build emotional resilience.
