Publisher's Note
One night Alex is all set to climb into his sleeping bag in his brother's room when Simon tells him he can't--there's a dragon in it. The next day the dragon commands his brother's full attention. Alex feels left out until he suddenly realizes that he has a friend, too, a camel named Calvin. Brotherly competition goes wild in this sequel to There's a Monster under My Bed. Full color.

Industry Reviews
In this sequel to There's a Monster Under My Bed, one brother invents a dragon to play with, the other invents a camel. "A clever variation on the imaginary friend theme," said PW. Ages 4-7. (May)

PreS-Gr 2 ``There's a dragon in my sleeping bag. I can't see him, but my brother says he's there.'' When the dragon appears at the breakfast table and on the swing set as well, it becomes clear that big brother Simon is deliberately shutting out his younger sibling. But two can play at that game, and before long...there's a camel in Simon's sleeping bag. By book's end, both boys have asserted their solo identities and reaffirmed their brotherly bond. Rose's dark palette and solid, heavily outlined forms lend a surreal quality to this almost-fantasy, with the comic antics of a dragon and camel sounding an appropriately lighter note. Text and drawings achieve a neat balance, the end result being a satisfying and psychologically sound excursion into the realm of sibling dynamics. Marcia Hupp, Mamaroneck Public Library, NY
