Sharon Cramer is the author and illustrator of the award-winning, three-book series, Cougar Cub Tales. I would highly recommend Marlow and the Monster for children who are afraid of whats under the bed and for those who just enjoy a good read. For instance, maybe their monster is silly and goofy instead of mean and scary.” “We donʼt want to underestimate the reality of our childrenʼs beliefs and fears,” says Cramer, “but we do want to help them understand the role their imagination plays in controlling the things they are afraid of. Sharon Cramer was featured in the August 2012 issue of Staten Island Parent as well as in Oh, Baby where Sharon Cramer shares tips on “How to deal with Monsters, Bad Dreams, and Other Scary and Frightening things.” Marlow and the Monster clearly falls under her first tip, and so is a great tool for parents when dealing with “scary things” in a press release found on Talkin g Bird Book’s website she explains the tip further: I love that the monster is not portrayed as being bad but rather misunderstood – the monster thinks he is “SOOOOooo scary” but Marlow just finds him annoying.
