Synopsis

Ethan is used to sleeping with his favorite monster under his bed. One night, checking under the bed, he finds a note instead:

"Gone fishing. Back in a week. –Gabe"

Ethan finds other monsters who appear under the bed, but none are just like the one that helps him sleep. He wants his own monster back.[5]

Sequel

A sequel, Hey, That's MY Monster!, was published in 2010. In this book, Ethan tries to find a monster scary enough to keep his little sister in bed until she falls asleep.

In 2017, Storyline Online (the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's award-winning children's literacy website) filmed Lily Tomlin reading Hey, That's MY Monster!

In 2019, Flashlight Press published a board book companion for babies and toddlers, "This board book for 0-3 year old listeners, presents the little monster-loving boy from I Need My Monster and Hey, That's MY Monster!, as he tries to find the monster that matches his drawing. He describes his monster (green, long tail, pointy nails, big teeth), and then looks for these features in an assortment of amusing monsters until he finds the perfect match, which turns out to be his beloved stuffed monster toy."

A prequel to I Need My Monster, titled How I Met My Monster, was released on November 1, 2019.
