Cartoon drawing of Manuela Pentangelo, il PiedeNero, the illustrator of The Monster on Top of the Bed

Alan in Wonderland - An artist's perception. When I hired the artist to do a cartoon, they also gave me this and said Since you write childrens books, I thought you might like to be "Alice in Wonderland" - FUN! Hope it makes you smile

Children love to create videos.  They learn a tremendous amount from watching quality videos and even more from creating a video.

Manuela Pentangelo (the illustrator) and I are pleased to present a number of videos that explain different aspects of The Monster on Top of the Bed.  You’ll see different styles because they were made by different people.

As part of our efforts to encourage children to be creative,  we are pleased to invite you to create a video and submit it for possible publication on this site. Just make the video and post it to YouTube. Then, send a link to the video to alan @ monbed.com.

Perhaps your video will be the viewer’s favorite.

Videos can be on any number of topics, including:

• Children reading The Monster on Top of the Bed
• Children acting out the play script version of  The Monster on Top of the Bed
• Stuffed animals commenting on The Monster on Top of the Bed
• How to use The Monster on Top of the Bed in a classroom (including projecting the book on a screen using the .pdf version and the .mp3 files and/or the audio CD
• How children love to find the differences between the large version and the small version, and the differences that they discover, including some word phrasing, use of colors, italics, etc.
