From the team who brought you If You Happen to Have a Dinosaur comes a laugh-out-loud early chapter book about befriending the monster under the bed.

There's a monster under Leo's bed making a ruckus every night. When Leo needs to go to the bathroom, he leaps from the bed to the door -- careful not to put his feet on the floor within the monster's reach. But one night Leo gets tired of being scared and boldly calls out to the monster to see if they can't just work something out. Surprisingly, the monster listens, and Leo finds out that even enormous monsters have fears! Leo and his monster, Fred, team up to face their fears, each with his own unique strengths. Over the course of five easy-to-read chapters, their friendship blooms as they face everything from bullies to bedbugs. A funny and endearing tale of two very different and unlikely friends, in the tradition of Bink and Gollie and Frog and Toad.

Praise for Under-the-Bed Fred

PRAISE FOR If You Happen to Have a Dinosaur:

"This playful picture book encourages children to contemplate the 'oddles of things you can do with a dinosaur' through a subtly ironic narrative that speaks directly to them. Two-page spreads capture the many hilarious scenarios .... Buried in all the rambunctious fun, the story leaves young ones with a message that can be applied to real-life situations: if you take the time to think critically and creatively, you can make effective and logical choices." --Booklist

"There aren't many books that have the courage to be this silly .... Simply wonderful." --The Globe and Mail

"... this is a great book to get your child's imagination running." --Canadian Family
