"Monsters are Knocking" by Alison Lester is a whimsical and imaginative story that invites young readers into a world of playful fears. The narrative follows a child who hears mysterious sounds at night, leading them to wonder about the creatures that may be lurking just outside their door. As the child bravely explores their imagination, they learn that these 'monsters' aren't so scary after all. The book beautifully conveys themes of courage and the idea that confronting one's fears can transform them into something less daunting. With charming illustrations and a gentle tone, it encourages children to embrace their imaginations. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
