The Under My Bed series, featuring the "Ohmadillapicklearoos, Those Villager Dust Bunnies Under My Bed", is designed to help children (kindergarten through third grade) develop a positive self-image and character by engaging them in imaginative stories. The series appropriately begins with the lesson that every child has his or her own unique and innate gifts. Each story is fun and entertaining; but when supplemented with our "walk the talk" action guide activities, developed exclusively for that story by an award-winning educator, the story takes on a deeper meaning. As a result, we believe that the child will be more fully engaged and will embrace the character traits as part of him or herself. After all, it's not just about how children live; it's about who they are that matters too!

Appearing in their first story, Kristy, her brother, Bryan, and their friend Jesse discover the magical world of Clohverville, a village existing right underneath their beds where those wonderful Villager Dust Bunnies, the Ohmadillapicklearoos, live. When Bryan wonders why he's not good at soccer like other children, George Ohmadillapicklearoo ("Mr. Oh" for short) appears, equipped with his tools of wisdom and experience. He shows Bryan that just because he isn't very good at sports doesn't mean that he lacks a special ability or "gift" to call his own. Join Kristy, Bryan and Jesse as Mr. Oh takes them on an adventure in the Village of Clohverville-where, coincidentally, Mr. and Mrs. Oh, their son, Bo, and their friends Looloo Palloo and the Widow Buttons present Special Gifts Day, a day in which Bryan discovers that he is a very unique and special boy, even if he isn't very good at soccer and other sports. And it all happens. . . right UNDERneath YOUR BED!
