IMAGINATIONS CAN RUN RAMPANT

Whoa! What's a fellow to do when he's sound asleep then awakened by first a noise then a huge beastie suddenly coming alive right off his sketchpad? Fortunately, Dan has a magic pencil and the ability to not only tame the demon but erase him. There are laughs and an important lesson to be learned about ridding oneself of things that go bump in the night.

My 5-year-old DEMANDED we own this book....

My son came home from pre-school reciting bits of the book after just one reading and begging to order it for home. The illustrations are wonderful and the language is clever and fun. Now my son wants to write books of his own!As a parent, I would add that if your child has concerns about nightmares, this book is a practical-but-fun story about how kids can control them.

Outstanding, fun for the family

Shows great imagination. Stimulating, great for kids of all ages

Beasties is the best!

I saw this book go from a thought to the stores and it's one of the most unique children's books ever! Daniel's illustrations are awsome and Dave's writing is brilliant! Way to go, guys. Good photos of the authors, too.

A side-splitting look at how one boy defeats his nightmares.

The first time I read this story, I laughed until I cried. I was afraid I wouldn't be albe to read it to my children. Well, I did and they loved it as much as I did.The story tells how one boy uses his mighty pencil and a good plan to defeat his nightmares.I appreciated the language and illustrations even more when I found out the book, written and illustrated by a father and son team, chronicled the actual nightmare battle.This is a must even if your children aren't having bad dreams.
