This adorable picture book certainly is about a brave little monster. At night in his bedroom he is so terrified of the little girl in the closet eating an ice cream cone and the little boy under his bed coloring in a coloring book that he cannot go to sleep. Bravely, he outsmarts them both in a way that finally allows him his much-needed slumber. Children will enjoy learning that little monsters fear them, and that they can outwit the monsters in their own closets and under their own beds. The Brave Little Monster is written in a way that is appealing to all ages. Ages 3 – 10. ( )
