Reach for this book when your child is starting to show interest in spooky things but still feels a bit nervous about the dark or monsters under the bed. It provides a perfect low stakes environment to explore the concept of being scared while remaining firmly in control. Through a funny dialogue between a cute purple monster and an off-screen narrator, the story explores the boundary between fun-scary and too-scary. It is a brilliant tool for helping children identify their own limits and normalizing the fact that even big, brave monsters sometimes want to hide behind the sofa. It is particularly effective for children aged 3 to 7 who are navigating the transition from early childhood innocence to more complex imaginative fears.
