The Mouse Who Braved Bedtime

Written by Louis Baum
Illustrated by Sue Hellard

Book Description

Chase away bad dreams for good

Every night Milo has the same scary dream, but nothing his family suggests to reassure him can keep the huge, threatening teeth and gleaming eyes away. It certainly doesn't help that he must run by a dark and frightening door every night before bed. Only when Milo finds the courage to face his fears does he find his own way of chasing away the scary monsters. This charming, perfectly paced story speaks to the frightened little mouse in all of us and the fun we can find if we can stand up to our own scary monsters.
Reviews "Baum neatly integrates a number of important childhood themes including family ties, friendship, growing up, and courage in the face of adversity. Hellard's brushed illustrations bring a further depth to the story with their meticulous detail and vivid sense of movement." -School Library Journal "An engrossing story for young ones." -15 Minutes Magazine.com
