Molly is a four year old girl who is heading off to bed one evening when her older brother stops by her room to torment her. Molly's brother tells her of a hairy beast that lives under her bed and does terrible things to her room and toys while she is sleeping. Molly remains brave and challenges her brother on his tall tale. "Monsters Don't Have Pockets" is a quirky picture book that pokes fun at older siblings and stresses that everyone gets scared and that imaginations are often far scarier than real life.
