DADDY AND THE MONSTERS

Daddy says that there are no monsters in Emma's closet, but Daddy's wrong. There ARE monsters in her closet - two in fact - and like most monsters, they're completely harmless. When Emma needs reassuring, Daddy tells her all of the terrible things he'd do to the monsters if he ever found them in her closet. The poor, terrified little monsters overhear him and start desperately planning their escape!
