There is no such thing as a monster, and certainly no such thing as a monster under the bed. That's what Howard's mother tells him.

I love this book! It's one of my top five favorite children's books ever. Lighthearted, whimsical and wise.
Find a Friend Under the Bed!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
My son was scared at Halloween by older kids in a costume. We got him this book to help discuss monsters and help him get over his fear. Anytime we want to discuss monsters, we pull out this book and use it to talk about his fears.
A Favorite for Parents and Kids

We heard this book at Storytime at our local library and fell in love with it. The kids loved the boy and the monster teaching their Moms that there is "such a thing", and all the mothers in the room were laughing at the familiar nightime ritual of little boys-- with a surprise ending. It is my favorite children's book and I think every kid should have it. Let them go to bed laughing about monsters under the bed, instead of being afraid of them.
A laugh-out-loud bedtime story!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is so funny, it had four adult women laughing out loud! A little boy on top of the bed and a little monster under the bed are both told by their mothers not to be afraid--there's no such thing as monsters/boys! But the boy hears a snurkle and the monster hears a sneeze, and they KNOW! Delightfully written, with a surprise ending that's perfect. Wonderful pictures, too.
