I loved this book! I have read many books from Mercer Mayer, but I have never read any from this series. I could totally see some of the students in my class thinking like this if they thought an alligator was under their beds. The little boy in the book saw the alligator, but his parents did not. He finally trapped the alligator in the garage, but then worried about what would happen to his dad in the morning when he went to work.
The pictures were also by Mercer Mayer and they were phenomenal as well. I think I could use this book in my classroom to have the students come up with a story about something being underneath their beds. What would they do to conquer the thing that they chose to write about. This would be a great way to have them be descriptive and come up with a solution to a problem. I would then collect the stories and illustrations and put them in a class book and title it "What is Under My Bed?" I think that the students would really get into this activity and it would be a lot of fun for them.
