A Lion at Bedtime

There have been several stories lately about children with fears of the dark and creatures that might be lurking in it. Perhaps this is a reflection of children's engagement with other media? Whatever the reason, here's another one - nicely illustrated and written - about a little boy who believes in the lion that comes to his room. He learns how to deal with it himself in a conclusion that's satisfying but so confuses reality and fantasy it might not help the fearful child after all. Interesting, though.
