(4) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Maja Dusi­kova. In a reversal of the stereotypical monster-under-the-bed story, Mona, a monster who lives in a "chilly attic," can't sleep for fear of scary children under her bed. When the children actually appear, both parties get over their fears quickly and become fast friends. The predictable and flat story is nicely illustrated with attention to homey (both monster and human) details.
