Description

When Monster (who lives under the bed) meets Boy (who sleeps in the bed), Boy starts to scream-and Monster promptly swallows him. It's the beginning of a beautiful friendship! Told with a warm, cozy voice, the story is brought to life with adorable two-color illustrations. Filled with adventure and humor, this chapter book is perfect for sharing with kids just aging out of picture books and for newly independent readers.
