The question of what else lurks in the dark depths of
a child’s imagination (and room) answered itself quite easily. The classic theme
of “monsters in the closet” became my next step in experimenting with the techniques established in the play development.

I emphasized rhyming and humor to expand the story
in the form of a small accordion book.

The sleeping lad is no longer content with just animals under his bed. Now, he wishes the monsters in the closet would take his pesky little brother off his hands with a trip down the gullet.

Seven legs, one eye, four arms, or tentacles, the monsters needed touch more menace without losing their fun charm.
