Sometimes, alone in a dark bedroom, a kid will get scared. "Monsters in My Attic" -- A Rhyming Monster Book for Kids 3 - 7 -- is a book to read before bedtime that will help empower a child to scare those "monsters" and other discomforting thoughts away.Along with the empowering story line, there are lot of illustrations that help turn the idea of a monster into more of a silly cartoon than a frightening threat.When all is said and done in this bedtime poem, monsters don't have to be scary and a kid can "beat the monsters at their own game"; and Diana F Acheson ends her 25 or so verses of poetry with the comforting:"Tonight will be a night of sleep,With no more monsters, not even a peep.Sweet dreams will be all that is in our heads,As we snuggle all night, quietly in our beds."
