"This book is my Scholastic Book Fair fantasy made
real! A dark, whimsical delight for all ages. I'll shelve it next to Gaiman's
CORALINE."

"Nine-year-old Prudencia—Pru for short—loves big words and her charming
vocabulary is on full display in Zoje Stage's My UnderSlumber-BumbleBeast.
Accompanied by gorgeous illustrations from J.E. Larson, this is the story of a
girl and the not-so-scary monster who lives under her bed. Pru’s ingenuity and
compassion shine when her little friend becomes a big problem and she has to
set things right. A lovely, whimsical tale for younger middle grade readers, My
Under-SlumberBumbleBeast is also a perfect bedtime read-aloud for smaller
children who want a "big kid" story. I was delighted by My
UnderSlumberBumbleBeast and kids and their grownups will be, too."

"In My UnderSlumberBumbleBeast, Zoje Stage
expertly weaves the tale of a child
who embraces what would scare other
children – be it the creature under the bed or the monsters in the basement.
With shades of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman storytelling, and illustrations
evoking Edward Gorey's style, My UnderSlumber-BumbleBeast unfolds as a
slightly eerie narrative sure to captivate and intrigue young readers and their
parents."
