Morals
There are two major morals in The Monster Bed that can both give children two lessons. One is fear of the opposite race, such as monsters' fear of children and children's fear of monsters. The book was meant to give the impression to children that their fear was as scared of them as they were of their fear, providing comfort for the small children. It also teaches children to check under the bed themselves.
Another possible moral is to teach kids not to skip school, as the small child did, and to not try to hide from your parents in areas you do not know.
