When little Bernard sees a monster in his garden things look bad, but when his parents are too busy to even listen to his story things quickly go from bad to worse! One of the best loved books ever written is joined by two other David McKee favourites, Two Monsters and The Monster and the Teddy Bear in a hilariously funny and delightfully scary theatre version. Messy mayhem in a monstrous fashion! The day will end with a monster parade with a prize given to the best dressed monster presented by a special guest.
