Billy, tucked into bed, hears a noise in his closet. Picturing "ghoulies," "ghosties," and "long-leggedy beasties," Billy lets his imagination run wild until he has the confidence to discover what exactly is going bump in the night. Acrylics done in shadowy nighttime blues and grays lend character to bug-eyed monsters in a story that humorously encourages facing one's fears.
