What will happen when she confronts the nightmare?

=========

This delightful picture book is sure to help young readers deal with nightmares. Humor versus the “monster” creates an imaginative tale for young children learning to face their fears and anxieties. Having a girl as the central character is an added bonus.

The charming illustrations that accompany the story are perfect and having the nightmare monster fear the little girl is priceless. The story provides the adult with an opportunity to discuss what is fearful and how the child might deal with it.

Highly recommend this child-favorite story. ( )

I greatly enjoyed reading the book, “There’s Something In My Attic’, because is a fun, easy, and relatable book to read. Children usually worry about some kind of ‘monster’ living somewhere in their house, the same is true for the young girl in the book. The author’s first relatable part, is when the girl calls her parents into her room. The author ties in how logically and reasonably the parents react to their daughter telling them something is living in their attic. I found this part to be highly relatable to my own childhood, when I told my mom there was something under my bed. The book’s funniest moments are when the girl chases the monster around her house, trying to get her new teddy bear back. The author does a great job of transitioning from the girl being scared to her becoming brave. ( )

Nightmares are tricky, and can escape lassos. Our hero will have to find a way to get her toys back without involving her parents. ( )
