This just might be a new story time favorite. A child is headed to bed, but he cannot find Ted his bear. He goes looking and he finds the monster under the bed, and he finds the alien in dresser, and he finds the dragon in the closet, but still no Ted. At no time is he afraid of any of his strange new friends, but they all insist that they will help find Ted.  When Tec can’t be found, the monsters lend them their best stuffed pals. The book rhymes and the illustrations are simply perfect. This was just all over a joy to read. And I think kids story time would really have a blast with it.
