Hearing scary monster sounds before bedtime, young Richard flees and finds himself in a "magical jungle," surrounded by benign wild creatures. When the monster approaches, Richard's stuffed toy lion comes to life and guides him through wondrous adventures that ultimately help Richard muster the courage to confront his fears--with a cathartic, kid-pleasing roar. Dramatic, luminous, fanciful illustrations elevate a clumsily constructed story.
