Product Description
Product Description
First at the door is a great big gorilla with fat furry arms and white teeth. Next time there's a wicked old witch at the door, then a creepy ghost, then a fierce dragon. Each time there's a knock at the door, there's a different monster, but each time they're wearing the same tartan slippers.
From the Author
It's fifteen years old and still going strong!
This was my second book, published in 1985. It's still amazingly popular and is a 'core' book for many schools. When I visit schools and libraries I perform it with masks, sheets and dragon smoke!

I really think this is a wonderful book about going to bed and playing games with your family. The little girl obviously likes playing the game and pretending that there is a gorilla, a witch, a ghost, a dragon and a giant who she does want to enter her room. The illustrations are wondeful and the expression of the girl's face and her teddy are delightful. I teach Nursery age children and they love the story and they enjoy telling it to each other. They know it is the girl's dad pretending to be these characters because of the slippers.
I recommend it to parents and carers of young children at bed time.

What can I say - this book was my best childhood memory. My Dad used to read it to me over and over as I loved it so much. Especially the end where I thought the man looked like my own dear Dad!!
Buy this for your child and I guarantee he or she will love and treasure this book and I plan on reading it to my children some day.
A+

Fabulous Story
Children love this book. A fantastic book to share as it is easy to get children to interact. Also good to start a discussion about what is real and what is make believe. Read more

Fun book, very appealing and interactive for preschoolers
My pre-school group love this book and it all join in. A joy! Like most appealing books, just a tad scarey!
