"Interesting was to incorporate higher level vocabulary into a book painlessly!"

"Oh my goodness!! I absolutely loved this!! My 9yo son and I read this today and it was just such a sweet & fun story. It’s about a girl named Pru, whose idea of cleaning her room is shoving things under her bed and in her closet. She’d always wondered if in doing so would create a habitat in which her under the bed things could grow into wonderful creatures. She diligently checks under the bed each night but nothing. Then one night she hears noises and sure enough is pleasantly met with an UnderSlumberBumbleBeast! More clutter creates more creatures and soon she has no more room left. She’ll need to figure out a solution before she’s forced to throw it all out.
Pru, is also a lover of words and has a glossary at the back to define some of her favorite words that are in bold throughout the story.
This story was both fun and educational. A must have for anyone with children.

" My UnderSlumberBumbleBeast by Zoje Stage is a delightful and whimsical story perfect for readers of all ages. Whether you’re an adult who loves magical creatures or a child just starting to explore fun and spooky stories, this book is sure to please. The colorful illustrations on every page make the story even more magical and exciting.

I just received this book today from the publisher (thank you, Bad Hand Books for the gifted copy) and decided to skim it, but I ended up reading it in under 30 minutes. It reminds me so much of the books I read as a child, like In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories, giving me a wonderful hint of nostalgia.

The story follows nine-year-old Pru, a curious and creative girl who loves inventing, collecting interesting things, and learning new words. But lately, she’s been focused on solving a big mystery: the strange noises she hears at night coming from under her bed. Pru has always thought a special creature might be living there, but because UnderSlumberBumbleBeasts only come out in the dark, she’s never seen one.

One day, everything changes when Pru’s mom asks her to clean her room. What seems like a simple chore turns into an incredible adventure. Pru discovers something amazing under her bed, and her life will never be the same.

Zoje Stage, known for her adult novel Baby Teeth, has created a fun and heartwarming story for kids in My UnderSlumberBumbleBeast . It’s a sweet tale about curiosity, imagination, and making friends in unexpected ways. This book is perfect for anyone who loves magical creatures and fun adventures. You’ll never look at the space under your bed the same way again! 🛌"
