And in the tub and on the couch and behind the curtain. As a matter of fact, they're everywhere! Yes, this is the problem which this book's young narrator is faced with, but he doesn't see it as much of a problem. In fact, all these unusual creatures make life mighty interesting for him.

They show up in just about every imaginable place. There are several in the cellar, one on the ceiling, one on the stairs, one under the rug, one on the sofa, and even one on his toothbrush. Each one has a different name which rhymes with its location. The Bofa on the Sofa, the Nooth Grush on my Tooth Brush, etc. And, of course, the Wocket in his pocket. Each crazy critter is highly imaginative and different from all the others.

For any kid who has ever imagined his house to be full of frightening monsters, this book is a winner. Instead of fearing these highly creative figments of their imagination, they can learn to relish them. This book is intended for beginner readers, many of whom will not have entered kindergarten yet. There is certainly nothing wrong with their having a couple of fuzzy imaginary friends. And if you catch them chatting to thin air one day, you can just chuckle and go about your business as they declare, "That's the kind of house I live in and I hope I never leave it."
