"Flooty
Hobbs and the Jiggling Jolly Gollywobber" was
created especially for Michael Jeremy Smith at the age of
8, with love from Mommy and Daddy,
December 27, 2005.
- Page 4 – My
name is Flooty Hobbs. Maybe you know me....maybe you don't. There
is an 8 year old boy named Michael Jeremy Smith who knows me all too well.

- Page 7 – I
was the scariest bedtime monster in Atlanta. Why, I had no trouble
scaring Larry, Wayne and Bob. I used to be great! Everyone was
afraid of me. Until I met Mike.
- Page 8 –
I'll never forget that awful night when Mike got the best of me. The
whole thing is just dreadful. Now, I'll never be the same (sniff).

- Page 11 - As
always, I waited through the usual bedtime routine. First, the night
clothes. Then, teeth were brushed. At last, the bedtime story was
told.
- Page 12 –
Finally, the lights went out in Mike's bedroom. It was time for me to
make my appearance.

- Page 15 – I
approached Mike's bed with all my scary friends. As usual, I got to got
first. I made my most frightening face. But all I heard from under
the covers was, "Tee hee, tee hee, you don't scare me!"
- Page 16 –
"Step aside, Flooty," said Spooky Luke, as he pushed me away. Luke
pulled his cheeks apart to make his famous, wide-mouth face. Then he
turned to face Mike. Again came, "Tee hee, tee heee, you don't scare
me!"

One by one, we all took turns making our scary faces.... and one by one, we
all got the same response from Mike. We were very puzzled.
Finally, we all decided to make our faces together on the count of
one....two....
- Page 20 –
---three!

This time, Mike remained silent. A quiet stillness filled the air.
We blinked in the darkness.
- Page 24 –
Straining to hear, I leaned closer to Mike's bed. Then, we all leaned
closer....and closer still.

- Page 27 –
Suddenly, Mike's covers flew off and out jumped a jiggling, jolly Gollywobber! Everyone shrieked, shrank and scattered, except for me.
I just stood and trembled.
- Page 28 –
.....And who could blame me? Mike knew that a Gollywobber, (especially a
jolly one that jiggles), is one thing that strikes terror into the hearts of
all bedtime monsters, including me, Flooty Hobbs. Mike had tricked us!

- Page 31 –"You
don't have to be afraid," said the Gollywobber. "I'm really Mike Smith.
If you look closer, you'll see I'm just pretending to be a Gollywobber.
I can see that you and your friends are nothing more that shadows in the dark.
You're nothing to be afraid of."
- Page 32 –
With that, I knew Mike would never look at me the same way, so I had to leave
in ruin....never to return.

- Page 35 -
The last thing I heard Mike say as he snuggled under the covers was, "Tee hee,
tee hee, you'll never scare me." And you know, he was right.
- Page 36-
From this day forward, everyone will know that Mike Smith is "The Kid Who
Isn't Afraid!"
