You might reach for this book when your child starts insisting there is something lurking under their bed or in the closet once the lights go out.

The story follows young Bobby as he discovers that the monsters he feared are actually quite silly and looking for a friend. Through playful rhyming text and imaginative scenarios, the book helps demystify the dark and encourages children to view their nighttime environment through a lens of humor rather than dread. It is especially effective for preschoolers and early elementary students who are beginning to develop more complex nocturnal anxieties. By the end of the story, the monsters are transformed from scary shadows into whimsical companions, making the transition to sleep feel like an invitation to a friendly dream world.
