Excuse Me! There's a Monster in My Closet!

by Darren Butler, Kay Casteel (Illustrator)

Overview

Every night when her parents close her door, Katie’s bedroom comes alive with swooping, swirling shapes and creepy noises. She is sure there are ghosts on her walls and a monster in her closet! Her parents don’t believe her – they think she’s making up stories – but they don’t see what Katie sees or hear what Katie hears. She tries her best to block out the scary sights and sounds, but it’s no use. How can Katie make her mommy and daddy believe her? And how will she ever go to sleep?! Written by Darren J. Butler and beautifully illustrated by Kay Casteel, “Excuse Me! There’s a Monster in My Closet!” is an exciting, funny, and ultimately comforting storybook for any child who’s ever been afraid of things that go bump in the night.
