Ages 5 to 9

A story about an unusual friendship and the very different parts of ourselves that make us who we are

Collin has always heard tell of the monster under the couch, but he's never paid much heed to these stories. Sowhen he digs between pillows for coins, he's not as careful as he might be if he thought he could be plunging hishand into a netherworld. But what if there is such a world and such a monster

Reviews

"Riddle's prose provides a strong momentum overall, driving page turns and inspiring Miller's whimsical, childlike illustrations, which depict the titular monster as a gray, furred creature with a comically toothy underbite. A sweet tale of a mutual passion and an unlikely friendship. (Picture book. 3-7)" -- The Kirkus
