His mother, however, tries to get him to go to sleep. Eventually, a human child accidentally ventures into their home cave, and both the human and Dennis discover each other, frightening both. The book was aimed at decreasing the fear of night in children by basically telling them that monsters were just as afraid of humans as humans were of monsters. The book received good reviews after it came out, with hardly any review lower than a 75% rating on any book review site. Some of the books came with an extra plush toy of Dennis with his pillow and teddy bear in each arm. An animated adaptation of the book was broadcast on September 9, 1989, as one of the ABC Weekend Specials. Various liberties were taken with the adaptation such as Dennis’ name being changed to Trashy and having an antagonist. (en)
