The Wardrobe Monster
Age 3+
Picture Books
What’s that knocking sound coming from the wardrobe?
Every night, it makes Dora and her toy friends afraid to go to bed and every morning they are grumpy through lack of sleep. Eventually, they summon up the courage to face their fear together and open the wardrobe door… what falls out provides a humorous and reassuring story for all children who imagine monsters in the darkness.
With a sympathetically drawn cast of characters, Bryony taps into a childhood fear and converts it into a tale of mutual support. Gently funny, The Wardrobe Monster will be a great bedtime read.

Bryony Thomson completed a BA in Fine Art at Wimbledon School of Art and then spent four years working as a Political Risk insurance underwriter in London. The realities of a high-pressure commercial career reinvigorated her love of drawing and storytelling and led her to the MA Children’s Book Illustration course at Cambridge School of Art. Graduating with distinction in 2016 she was also highly commended in the Macmillan Prize and shortlisted for the Bridgeman Studio Award. The Wardrobe Monster is her debut picture book and combines handprinting and
colouring with digital techniques.
