Scary Night Visitors helps young children understand the sources of their bedtime fears, by showing how a young boy's scary visitors are projections of his own angry feelings toward his younger sister as well as his fear that his bad wishes might come true. He discovers that his thoughts and wishes are not as powerful as he fears, so he can feel safe enough to let himself experience his emotions without imagining scary creatures.

Freaky... and bad message to boot!,

This review is from: Scary Night Visitors: A Story for Children with Bedtime Fears (Paperback)
I rented this book from the Library in hopes of helping my 4 year old son's fear of the dark/going to sleep.
Bad idea. Pretty freaky pictures for a small child. Also story takes a strange twist in which the little boy, Davey, plots with the bedtime Monsters on ways to make "wishes" to have horrible things happen to his sister and mother. (ie. tree falling on his little sis!) Yikes! When all is said and done, the miserable lesson learned is re-directing anger at others to cover up your own fears. Any interest in this book, I would definitely suggest renting at the library and previewing it before reading to a small child! You might be able to pull some good from it, bud I am soooo glad I didn't get as far as reading it to my son.
