The snake is only Nicky's sock and the menacing figure is just his robe hanging on the back of the bedroom door. If you have ever thought there might be someone hiding in your closet or peculiar things underneath the bed, this gentle little book will comfort you and take away all those night-time fears. "But do not fear For they'll be gone, When the switch is turned And the lights are on"
