Using humour to help children come to terms with their irrational fears of household monsters, such as the loo and thevacuum cleaner, Frank Rodgers provides us with a valuable addition to the class collection. Robert's Grandpa gives him a wonderful strategy - to imagine the monsters as babies dressed in nappies. Having previously always been the butt of his friends' jokes, Robert, to their amazement, is the only one of the gang who remains unmoved in the ghost train!
