Brief Summary: This is an adorable story about a little boy who is scared to go to bed at night because of the monster that comes out and bites toes. The monster comes out and turns out to be just as scared of monsters as the little boy is. Soon the little boys bed is filled with monsters who are all scared of monsters too! The little boy scares all the monsters away and is finally able to get a good night sleep.
Evaluation: I had high expectations for this book because the cover says that it was a winner of the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award. This book met my expectations and then some! I think it has a great moral for little kids who are afraid of monsters at night like I was when I was little. The moral is that there is nothing to be afraid of. The illustrations were cute and made the monsters alot less scary than they sounded. I recommend this book to all young readers.
Rating: 5 out of 5 monsters under the bed.
The plot of this one reminds me of the movie Monsters Inc. Is this particular book the winner of the Geisel award or is the author a past winner?
