Bear and Ted are camping for the first time, and night has fallen. Tucked up in a sleeping bag, Bear begins to worry about the sounds outside the tent. Is it a blood-sucking spider? A hungry giant? A fire breathing dragon!!?

Ted assures him at the sound of each noise, giving him a simple alternative each time. Finally Bear falls asleep, his fears gone. Ted is still awake however. He can smell something… Marshmallows?

A fun book about night time fears with a surprising ending. A great way to discuss a young child’s fears and worries. I loved the very last page!
