In this quirky and beautifully illustrated storybook, we learn about a monster who nobody can see or hear, a King who pretends to be brave and strong but is in fact very scared, and a cheeky mouse and boy who have all the answers. Written in verse, the story shows how, often, the Big Feelings elicited by the unknown are scarier than the thing itself, and how to manage the feelings associated with these fears. Full of enchanting illustrations and relatable characters, Who's Afraid of the Monster? offers:

• A quirky and amusing tale for adults to read to children together or alone
• A relatable tale about Big Feelings which makes the child stop and think
• A way of addressing the anxiety and fear of the unknown within children's mental health, and
• Hope and support for overly anxious children

This is the ideal resource for educators, support staff, practitioners and parents looking to help children understand and manage the Big Feelings associated with their fear of the unknown.
