Zoe, a courageous (and resourceful!) little girl, knows that something is wrong. There’s something under her bed: A monster! She tries all means to get rid of it, luring and tricking it, to no avail. This comical tale will show young readers that sometimes a monster is not trying to be scary; it’s just looking for someone to play with. It’s looking for a friend.
