Does the dark in your bedroom hide more than just your toys? Are there strange shapes lurking in the corners, or sounds that make you want to hide under the covers? "The Midnight Menagerie" is here to show you that those scary monsters are actually just your everyday objects playing dress-up in the dark! Meet the Ankle-Grabber who's really just worried about your marshmallow-feet, the Always-Watching Shadow that's probably just your favorite jacket, and the Bed-Bottom Monster who's more interested in lost LEGOs than scaring you. From the Closet Crawler to the Laundry Beast, this book reveals the not-so-scary truth behind every spooky sound and strange sight. Perfect for kids aged 10-15, this guide helps you become a monster detective! Learn to identify the real culprits behind the "monsters" in your room, like the Doorway Silhouette that's just a parent on their way to the kitchen, or the Face-in-the-Window that's really just your own reflection. With a dash of humor and a whole lot of reassurance, "The Midnight Menagerie" turns nighttime jitters into giggles, proving that the most frightening thing in your room is often just your imagination.
