Book Reviews of There's a Nightmare in My Closet
Book Review: A childhood favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was a young child, I remember my mother reading this book to me, and when my oldest daughter, then age 2 1/2, started having nightmares about "dragons" coming into her room and scaring her, I bought this book for her. "There's a nightmare in my closet" quickly became her favorite bedtime story, which was requested at least once a day, for well over a year. Now that I have another 3 yr old, she too loves the story, and is learning to "read" it from memory."There's a nightmare in my closet" tells a story, from the perspective of a young boy, of how a child confronts his fears and learns that they might not be as scary as he once thought. After reading this book to my daughter a few times, her nightmares became much less frequent, and she seemed much more able to handle the few she got.
Since young children always have, and always will be, afraid of something in the night, this book will never become old fashioned. I recommend it to anyone with young children.
Summary of There's a Nightmare in My Closet
"Childhood fear of the dark and the resulting exercise in imaginative exaggeration are given that special Mercer Mayer treatment in this dryly humorous fantasy."
