Christopher Sat Straight Up in Bed

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Patricia Cantor. Christopher wakes up in the middle of the night to a strange sound and imagines several frightening scenarios for its source before tracking it to his snoring grandfather. Cantor's luminous, unscary pastel illustrations will comfort nervous readers, and the hand-lettered sounds ("HONK-SHOO!") will amuse them, but the text is lengthy and the story lacks a satisfying end.
Reviewer: Hannah Rodgers Barnaby
