Sat, 21 Apr 2001 16:46:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rosieroon - I debated over whether or not I should use this story as the subject of the Bedtime Story Write Off. A book about monsters in the closet a bedtime story? One might think that this would induce nightmares, not prevent them. But it’s been my experience...
