Mummy I’m Scared

I’ve come up with this Mummy I’m Scared series idea because little children do not know everything (not that adults do) and having seen my little girl being scared because she thought there was a monster upstairs when it was just Daddy hoovering and my younger cousin convinced he was going to be eaten by a dragon – after some investigation this turned out to be a digger.

1)Mummy I’m Scared of the Sound Up There – hoover as a monster 2)Mummy I’m Scared of the Sound Out There – Lawn mower as a monster 3)Mummy I’m Scared of the Sound Over There – Digger as a monster

I recall having seen a children’s picture book along this theme before but can not remember it’s name – I think I need to track it down before I start writing just to make sure I’m not accidently copying! I think from memory though the premise was slightly different as in the child was scared of the diggers and things but missing the friendly monsters that where hidden in the pictures.

In these books I want the child to hear/sea something that sets their imagination racing and then the discovery of what it actually is though the child still knows they are really monsters but they are now ‘safe’.
