Tuula Pere

Pimean peikko Tuula Pere

"Little Fears" is a book series about the various concerns that children can have. Sometimes, minor harms may grow into big worries if they are ignored. Fortunately, there are fun ways and gentle tools to handle such situations, often through play.




Elliot has a new baby sister. He also has a room of his own now, where he can build castles out of blocks, as big as he likes.

But there is one thing that worries Elliot. In his new room, he can't fall asleep as easily as he did when he slept closer to Mom and Dad. On top of that, a monster is nesting under his bed. It growls every single night, even though no one believes Elliot.

Finally, with Dad's help, Elliot learns the cause of the strange noise, and he can sleep peacefully again.

Eino on saanut vauvasiskon. Hänellä on nyt uusi oma huone, jossa hän voi rauhassa koota niin suuria palikkalinnoja kuin tahtoo.

Mutta Einolla on suuri huoli. Uni ei tule uudessa huoneessa yhtä hyvin kuin isän ja äidin lähellä. Lisäksi sängyn alle on pesiytynyt pimeän peikko. Siellä se murisee joka yö, vaikka muut eivät usko.

Lopulta oudon äänen syy löytyy isän avustuksella, ja Eino saa taas nukkua rauhassa.
