Whats Under the Bed

The book titled Whats Under the Bed by Joe Fenton is an excellent book to have in a preschool classroom. It is about a boy named Fred who has trouble sleeping at night because he hears strange noises coming from under his bed. The illustrations in the book are great. If the book was made into a movie it would be great in 3-D because the characters would come alive in a computer and on screen. However, the book is also educational it teaches children that is OK to be scared sometimes; and it is OK to discuss what is bothering you with someone you know. I would recommend this book to any preschool teacher and to every parent who has a 3 or 4 year old child who loves to draw and look at pictures.
