Charming Story

This book is my husband's favorite childhood story. I searched for this book for MONTHS! I finally got lucky and was able to buy it used, here. This a charming story about a little boy and the little monster (that lives in his closet) that becomes his friend -- I recorded myself reading it and sent the tape to my nephews along with another copy of the book I managed to locate. It has already become a favorite of the next generation in my house.

Good Night, Orange Monster

This has always been my favorite book, and to date, I have only seen 3 copies of it. It is a remarkable book about a boy who is scared of a monster, and the monster is also afraid of the boy. Once they meet, they realize they have more in common than they thought and become friends. It is an excellent book for teaching kids about dealing with fear and character judgment. I understand that it was originally published as a library edition, making it hard to find, but it is definitely worth the read and the pictures are fabulous! I highly recommend this book!

Wonderful Childhood Memories

I remember checking this book out of the public library when I was five, My mom read it to me and my brother and we loved it! It is a wonderful story about a monster living in a little boy's closet. The little boy is very afraid of the monster in his closet but what he doesn't know is that the monster is just as scared of him! What a wonderful way to help dispell some of the fear that children experience at bed time, when they think that something big and scary lurks behind their closet door. This book is also of great sentimental value to me because I named my orange kitten after the monster in the book! He has since passed away and I wish I had a copy of the book as a memento. Hopefully your children will enjoy this story as much as my brother and I did!
