The Details
There used to be a nightmare in the closet—until one determined child decided it was time to march across the room and settle the matter. Mercer Mayer’s classic story turns a familiar bedtime fear into a funny, reassuring encounter with a creature who may not be quite so frightening after all.
Read it aloud when shadows feel suspicious or simply when a clever monster tale sounds good. The paperback’s expressive illustrations carry much of the humor, while the gentle ending leaves room for one last smile before lights out.
