Thank you so much to Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.
Horton likes to read monster stories at night but then he hears a scary noise, he tumbles into Figgy and she heard scary noises too. Together they search for the monster and learn it wasn’t quite what they thought.
Absolutely adorable, what a perfect book to teach about being scared, that sometimes a thing that seems really scary or a noise that you don’t recognise can end up being something that doesn’t seem to be what you thought.
I really enjoyed how the two friends didn’t suspect each other, but wanted to help each other until something scared them both and suddenly they realised the monster wasn’t what they thought. I really loved how the monster brought them together and they became really great friends.
The illustrations were really beautiful and I loved looking at them, they matched the story so perfectly. I really enjoyed reading this one and think it’s a brilliant story to read with young children, especially for night time when things are scarier and you don’t always know what everything is.

Cute illustrations and story. An owl and a pig figure out who the monster is they’ve been hearing and fearing. Fun book.
Showing that we make our selves frighten by our own misconception.

HOO’S There by Kristi Valiant is a delightful children’s book directed to kids ages 0 to 4.
Through the funny antics of Hampton the owl and Figgy the pig, the book cleverly addresses nighttime noises and reassures young readers that there’s nothing to fear.
The lighthearted approach, along with charming rhymes and lovable characters, makes it an excellent story for little ones overcoming their fear of the dark.
Short, sweet, and full of heart, HOO’S There is sure to become a bedtime favorite.
I would recommend this book for your own child, or for a gift for someone.
Thankyou to author Kristi Valiant, Thomas Nelson Children’s publishing imprint Tommy Nelson and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this fun book.
