Description/Notes
'Childhood fear of the dark and the resulting exercise in imaginative exaggeration are given that special Mercer Mayer treatment in this dryly humorous fantasy'.--School Library Journal. Full-color illustrations. A little boy goes to sleep scared. When a nightmare comes out of his closet, the boy fends him off with a toy. Later, they become friends as the child learns that nightmares are not always frightening. Humorous illustrations and a tough little protagonist make this book a consummate favorite.
