The Monster Who Was Afraid of Kids

By Ben Sparrow

What if the monster under the bed was more afraid of you than you were of him?

Meet Gus-a fuzzy, blueberry-colored monster with a serious problem: he's terrified of kids. Every time a child peeks under the bed, Gus panics, poofs into static fluff, and flees in fear. But everything changes the night he meets Jamie, a brave and curious kid who doesn't scream... but smiles.

With Jamie's help, Gus begins a journey to discover that monsters don't have to scare to belong. Together, they launch the Monster & Me initiative-a movement of kindness, courage, and cookie-fueled friendship that rewrites the rules for monsters everywhere.

Told in ten laugh-out-loud, heartwarming chapters, this clever reversal tale blends humor, emotion, and a powerful message: you don't have to roar to be brave, and sometimes the biggest change begins with a giggle under the bed.

Perfect for fans of The Day the Crayons Quit and The Monster at the End of This Book, The Monster Who Was Afraid of Kids is a bedtime-friendly read that turns fear into friendship-and leaves young readers believing that even monsters can have soft hearts.
