Bookroo's summary

Little Monster wakes from a nightmare, filled with fears about losing his mother and other dangers. As his mind races with 'what ifs,' Mother Monster offers comforting tales to ease his worries. Can her stories help him find peace and drift back to sleep? This beautifully illustrated tale explores the power of imagination and reassurance in overcoming nighttime fears.

From the publisher

When Little Monster has a bad dream, he wakes up full of questions. What if his mother isn’t there when he wakes up tomorrow? What if the house catches on fire? But then Mother suggests some pleasant “what if’s”, and little Monster can safely go back to sleep. This brilliantly illustrated picture book is a wonderful new choice for parents to use with children who have nighttime fears.
