Two of the funniest stories came from my love of this book. 1. I lost my copy of this book and had the same thoughts as to what happened to it like the main character (thanks to the book itself), and found it like how the MC did. 2. When I lost the book, my mom was so glad that she had it memorized by then because reading this to little me was the only way to get me to sleep. Definitely my favorite book from my childhood.

The preschoolers loved helping me "read" the pictures on the first few pages without text. Don't be afraid to read wordless or nearly wordless books aloud. The children loved being included in telling this part of the story.

Used for my two-year-old storyhour class. They really liked all the silly situations the main character imagined about what happend to his missing book.

Cute, cute story about how necessary books are to a child. The main character, a little creature in jammies, is totally engrossed in a book, falls asleep and on waking, can't find the it. He/she imagines all the things that could have happened to it (i.e. Maybe a BEAR ate it! Maybe a STEGOSAURUS stomped on it! etc.) but realizes he has to find it because he can't sleep without it.

A little creature (who looks an awful lot like a monster to me) falls asleep one night reading his beloved book. When he wakes up in the morning the book is nowhere to be found and he's devastated. He imagines the worst (e.g. a bear ate it, a stegosaurus stomped on it, etc.)! The first few pages are wordless so just make some "hmm" and "ahh" reading noises if you're reading this one aloud to a group. Since the reader can see the book throughout the entire thing, this makes a fun read aloud as the kid try and tell the monster where to find his book. Great illustrations and lots of fun!

A cute bedtime story about a creature who can't find the book he always read at night and goes on to imagine tons of crazy scenarios to explain what happened to it. The illustrations are especially delightful.
