BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Tiger’s nightmares don’t stand a chance of reaching her because Tiger has her own personal nightmare guard in the form of a monster. This monster sits watch during the night until the evening when a nightmare shows up that is too powerful for him. Monster and Tiger combine forces to take on this apparition.
Tiger’s courage to take on her nightmare is inspiring and resonate of a lot of young children’s fears. There is also a delightful layer of humor in this book, ever present simply because of the irony that the monster under the bed isn’t the thing to be scared of. This graphic novel is readable in one sitting and accessible to a range of reading levels.
