The Monster Bed is a 1987 children's book by Jeanne Willis and illustrated by Susan Varley that revolves around the twist on the common "monsters under the bed" story that frighten children.

His mother says that humans are only in made-up stories, but Dennis is not convinced—but just try telling that to the lost little boy who wanders into Dennis's cave one night!

That night a boy becomes lost and finds himself in the monsters cave, he spots the bare mattress and tiredly lies down. The book then changes setting into inside the forest, where we see a small monster named Dennis and his mother, [3] showing that Dennis was very polite for a young monster.
