What is Jack's bed about?

Jack does not want to go to bed. In the darkness, strange shadows seem to turn into scary monsters, and Jack thinks Mummy and Daddy’s bed is the safest place to be. But Mum has a clever idea: Jack can have his very own leopard to guard him. With his new protector nearby, Jack’s bedroom becomes the starting point for exciting make-believe adventures. Soon, bedtime feels less frightening, and Jack discovers that his imagination can turn worries into wonderful stories.
