Some of them may have nightmares and not sleep well at night because they are scared something might get them. This book reassures children that everything is ok when you are asleep at night and that nightmares can be forgotten.
Mar 15, Jayetta Carter-mcfarlin rated it really liked it Shelves: This book could be used across all elementary grade levels. This is a good book to have a read-aloud experience about how to overcome fears or nightmares. It could be used to help children stretch their imaginations to write their own short stories.
The book can also be used to introduce the concept of overcoming their own fears and abstract-thinking. Apr 19, Sherry Thornberry rated it it was amazing Shelves: The monster in this little girls attic was as scared of her as she was of it. I like the way this book shows another perspective of "the monster in the attic". I also liked that the little girl was brave enough to face the unknown that terrified her and see it for what it really was making her less afraid.

Nov 21, Courtney Hartwell rated it really liked it. A family recently moved from the city to a house on a farm. The daughter gets scared at night because it's dark and she can hear all the different noises. She decided to go up to the attic and use a lasso to get the nightmare and bring it to her parents to show them.
She finds the nightmare who takes her bear and runs downstairs. The little girl catches Summary: When she tries to show her parents, the nightmare has disappeared. As a child, I suffered from night terrors. It is so common for young children to be scared while they are sleeping alone. Not all children, including myself, would have the courage to adventure into the attic. But, we can all still relate to her character in the sense that nightmares are scary at a young age. Why I recommend this book: One reason this book stood out to me was the fact that the main character was a female.
I think this is great for young students to read about. In addition, it shows in a symbolic way that kids can be brave when it comes to their nightmares and try to conquer them instead of letting it affect their sleep.

I recommend this book because the storyline was a cute way to show children that overcoming your fears isn't as hard as you think. I think this book is also very relatable because children seem to be scared of attics a lot so I think this book shows that attics aren't as scary as kids think.
