In "Not Now, Bernard," a young boy named Bernard tries to get his parents' attention to warn them about a monster in the garden. However, his parents dismiss him every time he brings it up, telling him not to bother them. The story explores themes of neglect and the longing for parental attention, as the monster ultimately eats Bernard. This poignant tale highlights the importance of listening to children and the consequences of ignoring their fears and needs. David McKee's storytelling, paired with his distinctive illustrations, makes this story both engaging and thought-provoking. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
