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.

A beautiful friendship gets off to a rocky start when a boy is accidentally swallowed by the mild mannered monster beneath his bed.

Callbacks to Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are will resonate with some readers, and fans of that book will appreciate this longer take on kidmonster relationships.
