Monsters are scary, with big eyes, wild fur, pointy claws, and sharp teeth. One night, when Marisol hears loud bumps under her bed, she is immediately convinced that a monster is making the noise. Checking under the bed does not reveal a monster, but night after night, the bumps continue. When the bumps become especially loud one night, Marisol bravely leads the charge downstairs to find the cause. Turns out the monster making noise under Marisol's bed does have eyes and fur and teeth, but it isn't scary at all. It's her dog, Kitty, playing ball against the kitchen wall.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMonica Brown and Sara Palacios once again bring Marisol McDonald to life. With her orange-red hair, golden-brown skin, and endearing individuality, Peruvian-Scottish-American Marisol learns to face her fears in this empowering story of harnessing the imagination and conquering nighttime monsters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMonica Brown \u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of over thirty books for children, including \u003ci\u003eMarisol McDonald Doesn't Match\/no combina\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSharuko\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMaya's Blanket\/la manta de Maya\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWaiting for the Biblioburro\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFrida and Her Animalitos\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eEl Cuarto Turquesa\/The Turquoise Room\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the Lola Levine chapter book series, among many others.
