When Fred and his three dust bunny friends-Brutus Bunfluff, Gunnar Puffbutz, and Dust Puff Ted-hear thunderous stomping sounds above their cozy under-bed home, they're terrified. What kind of monster could make such awful noises?
Living peacefully in their organized world where everything has its perfect place, the dust bunnies have enjoyed quiet mornings, afternoon games, and evenings of storytelling. But now a family has moved in above them, disrupting their sanctuary with loud footsteps, bouncing balls, and mysterious objects falling through the floorboards.
As fear gives way to curiosity, brave Fred ventures upward to investigate the source of all that stomping and clamping. What he discovers changes everything-the "monster" above the bed is actually a little boy named Billy who's just as scared of the noises coming from below as the dust bunnies are of the sounds from above.
In this heartwarming tale of perspective and friendship, readers discover that sometimes the scariest monsters are just as frightened as we are. When misunderstanding turns into friendship, Fred, Billy, and even Billy's sister Bella learn that sharing space-and cookies-can transform a house into a home for everyone.

A unique perspective reversal showing monsters afraid of children Themes of friendship, understanding, and finding common ground Vibrant illustrations that bring the dust bunny world to life Perfect for children ages 4-8 who love bedtime stories Part of J.W. Zarek's collection reinforcing the message "I am enough"
