Asked by Why
A book cover showed a kid/monster it was a boy in a bed and under the bed there was a pale/white girl and on the back on the book it was a girl and a boy skipping away it is a kids book, and when we heard or saw the kids under his bed he would yell for his mom. This book was years ago at least 10 years ago it was animated and then mother had curlers in your hair, and she wore a robe, and the kid/monster would yell MOM THERE IS A LITTLE GIRL UNDER MY BED WANTING TO EAT ME "don't know if he said that exactly" and the mother would say there is no such things as little girls, and then the kid/monster said to the kids I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU

I don’t recognize it from that description alone, but I can help you narrow it down. A few quick questions that will really help:
- About when and where did you see it (country, TV channel, library, school)?
- Rough decade when it was published/animated (70s/80s/90s/2000s)?
- Was the child definitely a human boy, or a monster/green-skinned creature?
- Do you remember the cover colors, any words on the cover/back, or any character names?
- Was the animation 2D cel style, CGI, or stop‑motion, and was it a short on TV or a whole TV episode/VHS?
- Any more exact lines or phrases you remember (even fragments)?
While you think about that, a few things you can try which often find old kids’ books/shorts:
- Google image search with quoted phrases + “children’s book” (example query: "little girl under my bed" "children's book" mom curlers).
- Search library catalogs (WorldCat) or Goodreads with keywords like “under my bed girl wants to eat me.”
- Post the description (with any extra detail you remember) to communities: r/whatsthatbook or r/tipofmytongue on Reddit, and Facebook groups for book identification — people there often recognize obscure covers.
- Check Mercer Mayer / Little Critter / classic picture‑book authors and 1980–90s animated story collections (sometimes short animated adaptations of picture books were bundled on VHS).
If you give any extra detail from the questions above I’ll keep digging and suggest specific titles that match.
