Fox Louis and his family move into a new house. The first night there, Louis discovers a frightened green monster under his bed. The story can be read as though the monster is real or imaginary (i.e., a product of Louis's anxiety about making new friends). Cheery watercolors give character to the fraidy-cat monster and the brave little-boy fox.

PS
A family of dogs in a red car, two pigs on a tandem bicycle, and a menagerie of other animals head to the beach in a parade of vehicles. Taylor's illustrations depict friendly dot-eyed animals reminiscent of Inkpen's Kipper; each spread is full of action and clever detail without becoming cluttered. Unfortunately, the accompanying brief text is extremely disjointed.
