Illustrated by
Colin Jack.
Leo is afraid of the monster under his bed...until he meets him; Fred isn't scary at all (unless it's called for, as when a mean older boy begins destroying Leo's room and Fred saves the day). Four humorous chapters include playful full-color illustrations on every spread, and ample white space and moderate word repetition further the supportive early-chapter-book experience.
