Sophie and the Sea Monster
By Don Gillmor, Illustrated by Michael Martchenko.
Sophie worries about everything, especially about the moon falling from the sky. She gets very worried when her brother tells her there is a sea monster under her bed until she realizes there really is a sea monster under her bed and it is also afraid of the moon falling from the sky. Sophie lures the sea monster out from under the bed and after a fun filled day that ends with them daring the moon to fall from the sky, the sea monster slips back into the sea and Sophie returns home with her fears gone.
