Barricaded and helmeted, with cannon and infantry at the ready, he faces his nemesis.Nightmare turns out to be timid, cowardly, over-sensitive and a crybaby. In other words, hopeless. Never daunted, our hero copes with his new problem and wins the night and a somewhat unusual roommate.Mercer Mayer, whose 'A Boy, a Dog, and a Frog' (1967) has done so much for human-amphibian relations, has created an even more unusual friendship in 'There's a Nightmare in My Closet'. It will add comfort & laughter to the tell-me-a-story hour and make going to bed and turning out the lights almost a pleasure.Age Rating: 3–7+ / Preschool - 3+ / Lexile Measure AD470L
