Bella and Monty: A Hairy, Scary Night

by Alex T Smith

Best friends Bella Bones and Monty Mittens have lots in common - they both love slurping spaghetti for example.

 

But the big difference between them is that Monty is terrified of everything, especially the dark.

 

One sleepover, Bella takes Monty to see the exhausted Sun snoozing while the Moon shines. They go to Ghoul School where Monty helps a zombie glue his ear back on and then help some spiders carry their takeaway home. Feeling much braver, Monty bursts a balloon to make Bella jump!

 

Gargantuan spiders, rattling skeletons and grinning ghosts leap out of this funny, but sympathetic tale.

 

Bella's friendly explanations of those scary sights and worrying noises make night time much less frightening for her friend.
