What's that knocking sound coming from the wardrobe? Every night, it makes Dora and her toy friends afraid to go to bed and every morning they are grumpy through lack of sleep. Eventually, they summon up the courage to face their fear together and open the wardrobe door... what falls out provides a humorous and reassuring story for all children who imagine monsters in the darkness. With a sympathetically drawn cast of characters, debut author-illustrator Bryony taps into a childhood fear and converts it into a tale of mutual support. Gently funny, 'The Wardrobe Monster' is a perfect bedtime read.
A charming story of bedtime fears with a neat twist to it... Nicely scary as well as appropriately reassuring.
Pick of the Month
-- Julia Eccleshare * LoveReading4Kids *Thomson's book is delightful in its premise, but most particularly in its illustrations and depiction of Dora and her soft toys. They are as lifelike as Woody and Buzz, and infected with as much personality as Pooh, Eeyore and friends. The Wardrobe Monster is Bryony Thomson's debut picture book, and from this superb start, it's easy to see that she'll go far... Beguiling and comforting, this is an adorable and pleasurably happy read.
-- Clare Zinkin * MinervaReads blog *There are so many lessons and important messages within this story, making it brilliant for classroom discussion. But The Wardrobe Monster is just a delightful, bright and fun story which will make young children smile, and that's what it's all about really, isn't it?
