When Baby cannot find Mummy he goes looking for her. Along the way, this troublesome tyke meets some ghoulish monsters so scary they literally burst off the page - but they're the ones who are in for a shock! Watch out for the frightening fiends, check behind all closed doors and find out if the brave baby will ever find his mummy.
