Being afraid of the dark doesn't mean being afraid alone. When a boy can't find his favorite stuffed bunny, he bravely heads into the woods to look for it. Instead, he finds a big, scary brown bear! But the bear is just lonely, so the boy shares his night light and forges ahead with his new companion, until. . . they run into two frightening giants! As the boy continues on, he comes across other seemingly menacing creatures, but finds that-like him-they're just looking for some comfort andsecurity before bedtime. Simple text and classic European style meet a fresh, modern twist in this delightful picture book.
