The Bear Under the Stairs by Helen Cooper, Corgi Children's

© Random House

William is convinced there's a great big bear living under the stairs. He's sure he's seen it lurking there. To prevent the bear from eating him, William feeds it bits of food... until Mum discovers the funny smell coming from the rotting food.

A great story for children who are afraid of monsters hiding in dark places.
