Answer 1

I don’t recognize it for certain from that description, but I can help narrow it down — a few quick questions and some places to check will make identifying it much easier.

Questions
- Do you remember roughly when/where you saw the animated version (TV, VHS/TV special, YouTube, in-classroom filmstrip, channel or program name)?
- Was the book/animation in English and from a US/UK publisher, or do you think it was foreign (European, e.g. Czech/Polish/German)?
- Any details about the art style? (very cartoony, realistic, painterly, simple line drawings)
- Do you recall any names (of the monster, the children, the mom) or any exact lines besides the one you typed?
- Any distinctive colors on the cover, or the monster’s look (furry, green, horns, one eye, etc.)?
- Do you still have a photo, screenshot, or can you sketch the cover? An image would help a lot.

Places and quick leads to check
- Mercer Mayer’s “Little Critter” / “There’s a Nightmare in My Closet” adaptations — Weston Woods animated a lot of picture books; if you saw a short read-along, check Weston Woods listings or their YouTube channel.
- Search YouTube/Google for the quoted line in quotes: "there is a little girl under my bed" and variants (add “kids book”, “animated”, “children’s book”).
- Try searching Goodreads or WorldCat with keywords: monster, under my bed, little girl, mother curlers, closet cream/dripping.
- Post the description (or a sketch) to reddit.com/r/whatsthatbook or r/TipOfMyTongue — collectors/readers often recognize obscure picture books and animations.
- Check anthologies/collections of animated storybooks from the 1980s–2000s (Weston Woods, Scholastic Storybook, British cartoon anthologies).

Possible (but uncertain) matches to try
- Mercer Mayer / Little Critter titles (because of the “mom doesn’t believe” trope and short animated adaptations)
- Books/shorts adapted by Weston Woods — look through their catalogue (they often animated small picture books with a single narrator).

If you can answer any of the questions above or upload/draw the cover, I’ll search further and suggest specific titles or links to clips to check.
