(4) K-3 Illustrated by Rosanne Litzinger & Rosanne Litzinger. In a rhyming text, a small boy is scared of the sounds and shadows in his dark bedroom. He tries hiding from such things as "a creepy monster on the walls" but finally calls for his mother. Mama reveals the true nature of the unnerving images (the monster is really his teddy bear). This well-worn subject will be familiar to many; the outcome will be comforting to some. The richly colored illustrations show not-too-scary creepy things.
