My first reaction to this one was 'oh no, not another bedtime monster book' when Mr Underbed emerged from the mass of toys crammed under Jim's bed. But the story takes an unexpected turn as Jim finds in drawers, cupboards and boxes more and more strange beings, all of whom want to share his bed. The friendly nature and appearance of these bedfellows and the relatively short text make this an attractive read alone as well as a would-be bedtime story.
