My grandson was afraid of monsters under the bed, etc. and had a hard time going to bed because of it. I've been trying to find a book like this for some time that made the idea of monsters less frightening. He loved the book and now goes to sleep easily with this fear "put to rest". Thank you Ms. Nuck for finally coming up with just the "right stuff" needed to address this very common issue with youngsters.

I'm a special education teacher who has used this book in my class, and I can't tell you how receptive my students were to it! They responded immediately to the clever rhyming scheme of the story and they also loved the illustrations. By the time I'd read halfway through the book, my students were falling over themselves predicting what would happen next in the story and making insightful comments about how the characters reacted to each other. My students only do this if they're really involved with the story, and hooking them on reading is not easy.

Other teachers whom I've shown the book to also report a positive class response to it. I'd recommend this to parents and teachers on the elementary school level. Wally is a very charming story.

I think this is a very positive book to let our kids know that monsters are friendly and not only sitting them infront of the TV to watch Monsters Inc, which really scares the hell out of them...I read this book to my daughter and she loves it, I introduced it to her before she even knew about the "monster" concept, to prevent her from being afraid.

She likes the pictures and pointing things out.

Personally I recommend this book.

Our oldest son has been afraid of monsters. This book helped him to not be afraid at night. Our youngest son loves the book too. I wish this book came with matching bedding. We have given this book many times as a gift.

This is a book my kids bring to me time and time again to read! It helped two of my kids through that monster under the bed stage!!!

What a great story of courage & friendship! As far as Chebacca's comments, this is coming from someone who rates Grand Theft Auto as a 5 star game with a comment of "Hours of Entertainment" Period.
