Questions about this book
Will the story mention monsters under the bed?
Every story is written fresh, so nothing is a fixed plot. If you want to avoid mentioning monsters entirely, just say so in the "Anything special we should weave in?" box. You can also rewrite the text of any page after ordering to make the tone perfectly soothing for your bedtime routine.
Can I include our family dog to protect my child?
Yes. You can upload a photo of your pet and add them as one of the extra characters. Having a loyal furry friend sleep at the foot of their bed in the story can provide an extra layer of comfort.
