Marlow sees a monster, and he’s not happy about it. Especially since the monster returns almost every night and creates a lot of trouble for Marlow. What’s worse is that his parents don’t believe him! What is he to do?
Marlow and the Monster is a beautifully presented hardcover children’s story. Illustrated with quill pen and ink by it’s author Sharon Cramer, only the monster is shown in vivid watercolor, because “Only children can see him.” And colorful he is!
While the monster isn’t very scary, Marlow is frustrated by his constant presence and mischief. Thus, he concocts a plan to get the monster out of his room for good. In the process, however, Marlow realizes that the monster really isn’t so bad. In fact, he may just want to be friends!
Everyone has their own fear to face. But as Marlow demonstrates, it’s all a matter of how you see through that fear. Many times you’ll find there’s nothing to be afraid of after all!

We have the always necessary “monster spray” (water in spray bottle) that we can spray them away with…
We have a bed that nothing can go under. Now the closet is another story LOL
my son has a “power crystal” that he takes to bed with him from time to time when scared and at all times he has a protector-stuffed puppy names Dominoe-Too cute
I always told my daughters if they didn’t get out of the bed then the monster can’t get you. It definitely made them stay in their beds! I’ll probably tell my grandsons the same thing once they get scared.
We’ve got Daddy to deal with the monsters. Daddy can take down any monster.
@sherri w,
Monster Spray! That is genius! 🙂
We tell them to go away.
@sherri w, Great Idea!
I only had one that was scared of monsters-so we put her bed on the floor so they couldn’t get under there.
I created a monster spray: Water and a spice.
Zoey is just starting to get to the age where she’s concerned about monsters / darkness.. so we’re still working on dealing with them. I always just tell her that Monsters are not a real thing and try to comfort her with my words as much as I can. She’s a super sensitive kid and sometimes its difficult to calm her down. Usually mommy or daddy kisses can do it 🙂
Give the kids a little flashlight..
I have monster spray…..aka Lysol!!
My nephew said he was scared of the shadows under the bed, so we told him to tell his mom that he wanted another nightlight. He was perfectly happy after that, and sleeps through the night again.

i keep all my stuff under my bed so that the monsters can’t fit!!
Tell funny monster stories
“monster spray” lol
There are no monsters under the bed yet. I hope it never happens.
My son is a little young, so I haven’t dealt with this yet. But when the situation comes up, I would tell him a story about how the monsters are nice people and just want to become friends with him.
Hmm.. Never had to deal with that situation!
Haven’t had to deal with that yet.
our 3 year old had a “monster” who was in her room.. we made sure that daddy played with him during the daytime so she knew he was friendly if he showed up and just wanted to be sure she was sleeping well!
Havent had to deal with it yet but I think we’d tell her that monsters are not real.
invite them out for cookies
DS has been surprisingly good about being alone in the dark, hopefully that will last!
We pretend we are superheros and they don’t come to superheros homes

I sing to them!
My daughter loves Monsters Inc so she isn’t afraid for any monsters
Monsters love to laugh, that is why they are under the bed. They are waiting to hear a funny joke.
we always grabbed a flash light and shone it under the bed
I haven;t had to deal with yet.
always check where they say they are!
Luckily, my 5 year old isn’t scared of monsters yet. Whenever we watch a show or a movie that has a monster, I always explain to him that it’s not real. I like to show him behind the scenes footage of actors being made in to monsters so now anytime he sees one, he says “that just someone in a mask”.
Thank you
we have a spray bottle full of monster spray beside the bed that will defeat any monsters who might want to poke their heads out. its amazing what a little vinegar and water can do.
so far we haven’t had to deal with the monsters under the bed yet…
We use ‘monster spray’ it’s imported from France. We spray it under the bed…. it’s deadly to monsters, bats and leaves a fresh scent behind!
Not Many under the bed just in the closet…
Routine checks of areas..
Haven’t dealt with that ! Thank Goodness =)
My son is a pretty good sleeper !!
My daughter likes to go Monster Hunting with her flashlight, squirt gun, and her daddy!
If you run and jump onto the bed, the monsters don’t have a chance to grab you!
We’ll check under the bed together or most nights I do it and bottle it up or tell her I’m tossing it out!
Haven’t thought of it yet, haven’t needed to!
In our house, Daddy kills all the monsters.
We haven’t had this problem yet! Although, maybe the nightlight helps. 🙂
we dont this problem but I guess I’d get some monster spray.
Sometimes we check with flashlights and then is we think theirs a chance we set up a trap! 🙂 My boys think this is fun!
spray bottle of monster deterrent (H2O)
monsters don’t come around they know better in my house I am a world champion monster wrestler and everyone in the house knows it 🙂
Check with a flashlight
My son has had a couple of nights where he was afraid of the dark, but I let him go to bed with his sister’s flashlight and that made him happy!
we pray and trust that God will protect us
I haven’t had to deal with monsters under the bed yet.
