The Mouse Who Braved Bedtime

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sue Hellard. Milo the mouse has nightmares about "a horrible, big scary monster." Milo's family suggests various methods to help him sleep soundly (e.g., exercising before bed, opening a window), but the nightmares continue. The story's resolution is a bit of a letdown; the monster is a friendly field mouse. Hellard's soft-hued watercolors temper the story's scary parts.
