How can Harry tame the monster who comes to scare him in the night? Luckily first Mum and then dad come up with a clever plan. Suddenly, the monster doesn’t seem so scary after all. With a strong domestic setting this is a reassuring story for all.
A warm and funny story by Sue Mongredien (author of The Secret Mermaid and Kitten Club) and illustrated by the wonderful Nick East (Who's For Dinner and Goodnight Digger), Harry and the Monster is the perfect bedtime book to help children with fear or anxiety about night terrors, night-time monsters or things lurking under the bed!
One night, a monster stomps into Harry's dreams. The next day, Harry is scared to go to sleep. "If he comes back, just imagine him with pink pants on his head," suggests Mum. "He won't be scary then!" Can Mum's clever plan possibly work?
