What is The Monster Bed about?

Dennis is a little monster who is afraid to go to sleep because humans might be hiding under his bed. His mother insists that humans are only imaginary, but Dennis is not so sure. Then a lost human boy stumbles into the monsters’ cave and climbs into Dennis’s bed. When Dennis and the boy finally discover each other, both are terrified. Told with lively rhyme and a playful twist, this bedtime adventure shows that everyone can be frightened by the unknown.
