Rick finds a bear in his home after dark and is terrified. His parents can’t find the bear and think he is having nightmares. But the bear is real. The question is though, is the bear a friend or a foe?
“A Bear in There” is the story children live every night.
It is about children’s fear of the dark and monsters in the dark. It is intended to show children that they have nothing to fear and that the toys they sometimes think become scary after dark, aren’t really scary.
We can all relate to our childhood fears of the dark as children or parents.
Written in rhyme, this story reads well and makes for good acting and storytelling for youngsters which can help them to remember the story and not be afraid of the dark.

One night I woke, as I sometimes do.
Because, I needed to go to the loo.
The house was quiet…. and dark.
But outside, I heard dogs bark.
Down the passage to the loo I crept
Not making a noise, I carefully stepped
Thankfully, I made it to the loo
Do you get scared in the dark? I do!
While I was busy I had a feeling
There was something behind me, watching.
I looked over my shoulder and screamed!
Two eyes in the dark gleamed.
I saw it then, clear as day
A Bear! I don’t think he wanted to play!
I ran screaming from the loo
Down the hall to my parents room.
They were up. My screams did the trick.
They asked, “Whats happened? What’s up Rick?”
I pointed at the loo, “Th…there!”
They were confused, “What’s there?”
I pointed and stuttered, “A b…bear!”
“What!?” They didn’t believe me. “Where?”
“A bear! In there!”
Dad walked to the loo. It wasn’t far….
I cringed in fear. The door was ajar….
He opened it and turned on the light……
I wanted to scream but the bear
Wasn’t anywhere in sight!
My parents put me back to bed.
Before turning out the light they kissed my head
I tried to sleep but sleep had fled
I feared the bear was under my bed.
I tried counting sheep to sleep
But was afraid the bear would creep
Into my room while my eyes were closed
Then I opened my eyes and froze…..
