Reach for this book when your child starts expressing hesitation about the dark or finding 'scary' shapes in the corners of their bedroom at night. It is a perfect tool for de-escalating nighttime anxiety by showing that fear is often just a product of our imagination and a lack of light. The story follows a group of whimsical creatures whose bus breaks down, forcing them to take refuge in an old house. Throughout the night, they encounter various 'monsters' and spooky sounds that initially cause alarm. However, as morning arrives, each terrifying discovery is revealed to be something completely ordinary. It provides a gentle, low-stakes way to talk about bravery and the difference between perception and reality for children aged 3 to 7.
