There's Something in My Attic

Reach for this book when your child is convinced they hear bumps in the night or claims that a monster is hiding in the house. It is the perfect remedy for bedtime anxiety because it shifts the power dynamic from the monster to the child. The story follows a brave young girl who, tired of a monster stealing her toys, decides to take matters into her own hands with a lasso and a plan. By focusing on the girl's resourcefulness and bravery rather than her fear, the book provides a psychological roadmap for overcoming nighttime terrors. It normalizes the 'noises in the attic' experience while injecting humor and a sense of agency. This is a classic choice for parents of 3 to 7-year-olds who need a gentle, funny way to deconstruct the scary things that live in their imagination.
