I'm Not Going Out There!

by Paul Bright · 2006

+ Want to read

"I'm not going out there," declares the little boy in this hilarious, rhyming story. But what is frightening him? It's not the dragon breathing smoke in the living room. Or the ghost snacking on toast and chocolate in the kitchen. The witches in the bathroom are too busy washing their dirty underwear to bother anyone. And the monsters performing ballet exercises in the bedroom aren't at all terrifying. But something in the house is very scary. And it's coming this way . . . A perfect read-it-aloud book which children will beg to hear again and again.
