Synopsis

An irresistible bedtime tale, reissued with all-new illustrations, and now in paperback Jim wonders what to do when a shaggy blue head pops up from under his bed and complains about having to sleep on a hard floor. He kindly allows the monster into the bed, but he was not prepared for the monster's snoring. As he investigates other places in his room to sleep, he finds each spot is home to its own night creature—and they all want into the bed too!

About this title

From the Author:

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 2 Beginning with Mr. Underbed, Jim discovers a host of cheerful, baggy-looking monsters residing in his bedroom, all of whom want to sleep in his bed. Jim decides to sleep under the bed. There is not much here. Although children may find the pictures amusing, Mayer's There's a Nightmare in My Closet (Dial, 1968) and Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are (Harper, 1963) are preferable. This first writing effort by Riddell seems lacking in plot and thematic content, and the brightly-colored watercolors include some garish shades and unappealing combinations of colors. Ronald A.
