This enhanced eBook features read-along narration. A unique monster-under-the-bed story with the perfect balance of giggles and shivers, this picture book relies on the power of humor over fear, appeals to a child's love for creatures both alarming and absurd, and glorifies the scope of a child's imagination. One night, when Ethan checks under his bed for his monster, Gabe, he finds a note from him instead: "Gone fishing. Back in a week." Ethan knows that without Gabe's familiar nightly scares he doesn't stand a chance of getting to sleep, so Ethan interviews potential substitutes to see if they've got the right equipment for the job—pointy teeth, sharp claws, and a long tail—but none of them proves scary enough for Ethan. When Gabe returns sooner than expected from his fishing trip, Ethan is thrilled. It turns out that Gabe didn't enjoy fishing because the fish scared too easily.

Can you help the little boy find the monster that matches his drawing so he can go to sleep? In Are You My Monster?, a monster-loving boy tries to find his monster. He compares his drawing—showing a green monster with a long tail, pointy nails, and big teeth—with an assortment of amusing monsters, until he finds the perfect match. This turns out to be his beloved STUFFED monster toy. Youngest children will love comparing colors, checking if tails are long or short, if nails are pointy or round, if teeth are big or small until they, too, find the monster who is a perfect match.

What they do know is that he flies over the city every night, saving lives and fighting monsters. What they don't know is that in the day, he is Coleman Conner Smith, a man cursed with hideous wings which burst from his arms every time the sun goes down. Finding no other alternative, Coleman uses his condition to protect the innocent and wage war on evil. However, his already messed-up life is turned upside down when two new faces enter town; the first being Gorgryph, a hideous, ancient beast hell-bent on committing the ultimate blasphemy, and Krystal, a beautiful young woman who is anxious to help Coleman escape his dark place. Burdened by his intense self-hatred and threatened by evil forces at every turn, Coleman must save not only hundreds of victims Gorgryph plans to destroy, but must also save his own soul. From the gates of his personal hell to the roof of a majestic cathedral, Coleman's journey will reveal to him his true purpose as an instrument of righteousness...and bring him back to the God he has forsaken.

On a beautiful day at the beach, a young boy brings his bucket, shovel, and imagination, and builds a perfect sand castle. Right away, a dragon moves in. The boy decides to befriend his dragon and they spend time roaming the shore, flying a kite, braving the waves, defying bullies, and roasting marshmallows—all while Dad is busy sunbathing and Mom is engrossed in her book. Unfortunately, no one believes the boy when he tries to share the news of this magnificent creature. That’s when the mischief begins, and the dragon becomes a force to be reckoned with. While adults will recognize the naughty antics as a ploy for attention, children will dissolve into giggles as the dragon devours every last sandwich, blows bubbles in the lemonade, and leaves claw prints in the brownies. Maybe the dragon really is running amok on the beach, or maybe it’s a little boy’s imagination that is running wild.
