Tiger is a very lucky kid: she has a monster living under her bed. Every night, Tiger and Monster play games until it’s time for lights out. Of course, Monster would never try to scare Tiger―that’s not what best friends do.

But Monster needs to scare someone…it’s a monster, after all. So while Tiger sleeps, Monster scares all of her nightmares away. Thanks to her friend, Tiger has nothing but good dreams. But waiting in the darkness is a nightmare so big and mean that Monster can’t fight it alone. Only teamwork and a lot of bravery can chase this nightmare away.

In this charming graphic novel for young readers, cartoonist Emily Tetri proves that unlikely best friends can be an unbeatable team, even agianst the scariest monsters.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 1–3—In this endearing graphic novel, an anthropomorphic tiger cub's best friend is the monster under her bed. Tiger's parents think Monster is imaginary, but every evening, they let Tiger bring Monster dinner. Monster eats, the two of them play games, and when Tiger goes to sleep, Monster scares the nightmares away and makes sure the little cub gets a good night's rest. But when a nightmare that even Monster can't handle appears, Tiger has to learn to face her fears herself. The characters are adorable, and Tiger's world is original and futuristic, with flying vehicles and industrial-style buildings. The graphics are in gorgeous full color, with an almost blurred watercolor effect, beautifully conveying both delightfully creepy nightmare scenes and vibrant daytime illustrations. An image of intrepid little Tiger staring up at the nightmare, a creature with a shadowy body and a horned skull, is especially striking. The use of panels of a multitude of sizes enriches the narrative. The speech balloons are particularly well done, adding dimension to every mood or situation. The vocabulary is approachable—kids will enjoy reading this on their own or with an adult. VERDICT Tetri has crafted a sweet, uplifting tale of best friends, imagination, bravery, and teamwork. Highly recommended for fans of Lorena Alvarez's Nightlights and anyone who has, or remembers having, nighttime terrors.—Kelley Gile, Cheshire Public Library, CT

A 2018 Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of the Year
A School Library Journal Best Graphic Novel of 2018

"Real or not, nightmares affect us, and so the true victory in Tetri’s book comes in unlikely collaborations and creativity in the face of terror." ―The New York Times

"Tetri has crafted a sweet, uplifting tale of best friends, imagination, bravery, and teamwork. Highly recommended for fans of Lorena Alvarez’s Nightlights and anyone who has, or remembers having, nighttime terrors." ―School Library Journal, starred review

"Rich details enhance the setting inconspicuously: Tiger's parents, also tigers, run a repair shop for flying cars; one parent is Dad while the other is of undesignated gender. A visual and emotional symphony." ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"The art gives the title the comfort of a younger picture book, but the story itself deals directly with the emotional growth of growing kids, as they wrestle with the anxieties that come with shifting challenges―in sleeping or otherwise―that must be confronted when growing up." ―Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review

"Tetri’s pencil-and-watercolor panels capture Tiger’s engaging, cublike features...seamless visual storytelling and an impressive emotional range make this a notable debut." ―Publishers Weekly

"With an empowering message, beautifully dynamic artwork, and an invitingly open format, this is a natural choice for kids making the transition from picture books to graphic novels." ―Booklist

"Tetri brings the reader not just into the action of the story but into its emotion as well. Looking at the art on these pages, the reader feels the victory over the nightmare, right along with Tiger and Monster." ―Horn Book

A fantastic graphic novel for young readers!
Tiger has a monster that lives under her bed but this monster is friendly and helps fight off Tiger's nightmares. That is until the biggest nightmare of all shows up. Monster will need all the help they can get to fight off this monster, and Tiger may just have to face her biggest fears!This is the perfect introduction to graphic novels for beginner readers and little listeners!This was such a cute story!It has themes of friendship, imagination, and bravery and is beautifully illustrated with watercolors in a comic book format.This is the first time I've come across a graphic novel for such a young audience and now I want to see more! At 64 pages, this looks almost more like a little book than a picture book but it's a very quick read because it is mostly just images with some dialogue added but the story is powerful and quickly became one of our favorites.I really loved the illustrations. The watercolors really helped set the mood in both the daytime and nighttime scenes. Watercolors were a great choice to help blend the nightmares into the darkness. The nightmare monsters might be a little scary but my preschooler didn't seem bothered by them. She enjoyed the story and especially wanted it read at bedtime.

Child got this as a library book and loved it so we bought one for home. Cute story with a deep undertone. Can use this book as a stepping stone to talk about the feeling of being scared and how to overcome it.

Big fan of the book. On top of the amazing drawing and overall plot and lesson, which I think is very poignant for children (using problem solving skills and teamwork to face their fears), there are numerous other details that I think really fill out the story and make it much more interesting than other books for children, such as making characters that defy gender norms and having the main character be friends with her supposed nightmare. Highly recommend!

My 7 year old daughter and I LOVE this book! She is obsessed with felines and brought this book home from thr library. We then immediately had to buy it on Amazon. I think these characters would make a fantastic graphic novel series of books. We hope to see more adventures of Tiger vs Nightmares!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun twist on the every child’s fear that a monster lives under their bed!
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019

I love the creativity behind this story! A monster living under your bed to scare the nightmares away! Ingenious!! The illustrations may be a little scary depending on your child. My daughter is 6 and normally very scared, but surprisingly was not scared by the graphic illustrations, I think because of the story. The book is illustrated similarly to a comic book, which initially turned me off, but it is such a great story that I didn’t mind.

As a grandmother, I wasn't sure if I should send my little 4-year-old grandson a book about nightmares. Like maybe it would be scary at bedtime. But it turned out to be a beloved story. "Let's read it again." I think it is empowering! :-) Who knew a monster could be such a good bedtime friend!! :-)

This beautifully illustrated book is sure to charm readers of all ages. Tetri expertly expresses themes of friendship, teamwork, and facing our fears through artwork that manages to be simultaneously adorable and awe-inspiring. I was thrilled by Tetri's choice to use female pronouns for Tiger, subtly teaching children that both courage and fear are appropriate emotions for all of us.

My 8 year old loved this book as did her Dad. My daughter said she loves how it shows nightmares aren’t real. “It’s just your wild imagination “. We both really enjoyed the story and thought the art was terrific.

A wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated book about a young tiger and his monster friend under her bed. My four year old daughter really loved it and it helped her realize that not all monsters are the scary kind. She asks to read it almost every night since we bought it.
