Our current partner charities in the UK are READ International, the National Literacy Trust, Room to Read. Jeanne has also worked on scripts for TV, including POLLY POCKET and THE SLOW NORRIS, and a pilot TV series for DR XARGLE. The story is upside down in the sense that it explores not the traditional fear of children of monsters under the bed, but the fear little monsters have of humans. The Beat Generation was born out of WWII, and it still continues to exert considerable influence on today’s literary scene.

Her stuffed animals, a teddy bear, a pony, a cat and a dog, are sitting beside her to keep her safe. The series has ten levels: four phonics levels (Phases 2 to 5) and twelve book bands (Lilac through to Lime). Once Dennis is asleep however, a boy gets lost in the woods, and growing tired and scared comes across the cave where Dennis and his mum live. Some editions of the book come with a plush toy of Dennis, the main character, with a teddy bear in one hand and his pillow in the other.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Rollicking rhyme and delightfully detailed illustrations make this story of a bedtime surprise the perfect book for little monsters. Her picture book Badger's Parting Gifts that deals with grief, is one of the most enduring of all time, winning many prizes, including the Mother Goose Award in 1985. This bed comes fitted with a cage contraption that traps monsters under their bed, preventing them from escaping. The twist on the 'scared of monsters' theme is delightfully whimsical and the rhyme and illustrations add to the enjoyment of this lovely book.

It looks like there are multiple movies that take a similar approach, and it's possible I got my memories of "Don't Look Under the Bed" mixed up with my desires for this book -- I don't know!The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. An animated adaptation of the book was broadcast on September 9, 1989, as one of the ABC Weekend Specials.
