A little girl overcomes the fear of her spooky closet. Mika is afraid of the spooky closet in her room, but she sleeps well so long as Theodore, her guardian teddy bear is there to protect her. When Mika's guardian teddy bear is left behind one night as mommy puts her to bed, a lost monster (Pogo) wanders out of the closet. Not as scary as she usually thinks monsters are, Mika befriends Pogo as her new imaginary friend. But when Pogo gets jealous of Mika and her loving family, he realizes the only way to get back to his own family is to make her overcome her fear of the closet. Mika's Monster is a fun story about the power of imagination, relationship building, and conquering your own fears.
