Fun book with a great message about facing your fears. When the monsters in your dreams scare you, just make friends with them. This would be a good ladder to "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll due to some of the nonsense words in the story.

Bedtime is difficult. But after a rousing adventure (dream?) in which Hamilton faces all his worst fears, bedtime becomes much less fearsome. Which is a good thing, because poor Hamilton's parents are worse for wear.

Good to read aloud to a KS1 class. It looks at the fears and the imagination, accompanied by some really interesting illustrations. The language in the book reminds me of Roald Dahl and Spike Milligan's styles as a lot of the words are made up and children would enjoy pronouncing them.
