內容簡介:
In this warm-hearted and witty take on a classic theme - being
scared of the dark - Emily and Stanley find a ''Thing'' crying
outside their window. They embark on a series of adventures to find
everything he needs for a good night''s sleep ...but nothing seems
to work. What is troubling the Thing, and why can''t he get to
sleep? Parents and children the world over will recognise all the
bizarre excuses a child can make to keep the light on and a parent
in the room at bedtime, and this story shows how important it is to
talk to children, and find out what is really going on in the
complex depths of a child''s imagination.
