Tiger is a very lucky kid: she has a monster living under her bed. Every night, Tiger and Monster play games until it's time for lights out. Of course, Monster would never try to scare Tiger--that's not what best friends do.
But Monster needs to scare someone... it's a monster, after all. So while Tiger sleeps, Monster scares all of her nightmares away. Thanks to her friend, Tiger has nothing but good dreams. But waiting in the darkness is a nightmare so big and mean that Monster can't fight it alone. Only teamwork and a lot of bravery can chase this nightmare away.
In this charming graphic novel for young readers, cartoonist Emily Tetri proves that unlikely best friends can be an unbeatable team, even against the scariest monsters.
My Thoughts:
Tiger has a monster that lives under her bed but this monster is friendly and helps fight off Tiger's nightmares. That is until the biggest nightmare of all shows up. Monster will need all the help they can get to fight off this monster, and Tiger may just have to face her biggest fears!
This is the perfect introduction to graphic novels for beginner readers and little listeners!
This was such a cute story!
This was such a cute story!
It has themes of friendship, imagination, and bravery and is beautifully illustrated with watercolors in a comic book format.
This is the first time I've come across a graphic novel for such a young audience and now I want to see more! At 64 pages, this looks almost more like a little book than a picture book but it's a very quick read because it is mostly just images with some dialogue added but the story is powerful and quickly became one of our favorites.
I really loved the illustrations. The watercolors really helped set the mood in both the daytime and nighttime scenes. Watercolors were a great choice to help blend the nightmares into the darkness. The nightmare monsters might be a little scary but my preschooler didn't seem bothered by them. She enjoyed the story and especially wanted it read at bedtime.
