His only hope is to write an urgent letter to Willow, asking if she wouldn’t mind trying to find him.

The funniest new picture book of the year, from the Irish Children’s Laureate

‘The perfect night-time read‘ – Daily Mail

‘Hilarious and delightful‘ – Paddy Donnelly

‘Funny and ingenious‘ – Bookseller

It’s a dark and stormy night, and Sophie knows that there is a MONSTER hiding under her bed. So, like any sensible child, she decides to send him a letter.

Dear Monster,

I know you are hiding under my bed.
I hear you breathing. This is your last warning.
Leave now or I will call THE MONSTER POLICE.
I have their number.

Yours truly,
Sophie

As the letters fly back and forth, Sophie begins to wonder if Monster isn’t as scary as she thought. What if he’s the friend she’s been looking for all along?

From Irish Children’s Laureate Patricia Forde and award-winning illustrator Sarah Warburton comes an irresistible picture book that turns the idea of the monster-under-the-bed on its head!
