I absolutely loved the premise of this book: it's teddy bears last day in his boy's room, the box is all ready for him to be packed away in, when all the monsters under the bed take this last opportunity to attack the sleeping boy - and it's up to Tristan the teddy bear to protect and defend the bed! I loved the adventure and can't wait to read it as a bedtime story to future little ones.
However, I did have to dock it a star for the horrendous grammatical errors that are prevalent throughout the story. It made me wonder if it was translated from a European language with the many missing articles and random capitalization of nouns, but the author bio said he was an Englishman living in the US so I just don't understand it! It desperately needed just one good proofread before publication, which it clearly did not get.
