However, because they worry about having nightmares or wetting the bed, they often remain awake and develop insomnia. Insomnia then can become a real threat to their well-being. "Clinophobia" is derived from the Greek "klinein" (to bend, slope or incline, as one does during sleep) and "phobos" (fear).

Individuals that deal with teratophobes regularly are also contrasted with attractive people, and are said to find courting difficut and also find it difficult to find a romantic partner. The concept of teratophobia has also been observed as a phenomenon during abortion debates.

Authors Introduction
1. Randolph Caldecott
Randolph Caldecott (22 March 1846 – 12 February 1886) was an English artist and illustrator, born in Chester. The Caldecott Medal was named in his honour. He exercised his art chiefly in book illustrations. His abilities as an artist were promptly and generously recognised by the Royal Academy. Caldecott greatly influenced illustration of children's books during the nineteenth century. Two books illustrated by him, priced at a shilling each, were published every Christmas for eight years.
Caldecott also illustrated novels and accounts of foreign travel, made humorous drawings depicting hunting and fashionable life, drew cartoons and he made sketches of the Houses of Parliament inside and out, and exhibited sculptures and paintings in oil and watercolour in the Royal Academy and galleries.
2.Chris Van Allsburg
Chris Van Allsburg (born June 18, 1949) is an American illustrator and writer of children's books. He has won two Caldecott Medals for U.S. picture book illustration, for Jumanji (1981) and The Polar Express (1985), both of which he also wrote; both were later adapted as successful motion pictures. He was also a Caldecott runner-up in 1980 for The Garden of Abdul Gasazi.[1][2]For his contribution as a children's illustrator he was 1986 U.S. nominee for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest international recognition for creators of children's books.[3] He received the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters from the University of Michigan in April 2012.
3. Arnold Lobel
Arnold Stark Lobel (May 22, 1933 – December 4, 1987) was an American author of children's books, including the Frog and Toad series and Mouse Soup. He both wrote and illustrated those picture books, as well as Fables, for which he won the 1981 Caldecott Medal recognizing the year's best-illustrated U.S. picture book. Lobel also illustrated the works of other writers, including Sam the Minuteman by Nathaniel Benchley, published in 1969.
4. Ezra Jack Keats
Ezra Jack Keats (March 11, 1916 – May 6, 1983) was an American writer and illustrator of children's books. He won the 1963 Caldecott Medalfor illustrating The Snowy Day, which he also wrote.[1] It is considered one of the most important American books of the 20th century.[2][3]
Keats is best known for introducing multiculturalism into mainstream American children's literature. He was one of the first children’s book authors to use an urban setting for his stories and he developed the use of collage as a medium for illustration.
5. Perry Nodelman
He writes that "the pictures focus our attention on specific aspects of the words and cause us to interpret them in specific ways. As a result, a picturebook contains at least three stories: the one told by the words, the one implied by the pictures, and the one that results from the combination of the first two."
5. Leo Lionni
Leo Lionni (May 5, 1910 – October 11, 1999) was an author and illustrator of children's books. Born in the Netherlands, he moved to Italy and lived there before moving to the United States in 1939, where he worked as an art director for several advertising agencies, and then for Fortune magazine. He returned to Italy in 1962 and started writing and illustrating children's books.[1] In 1962 his book Inch by Inch was awarded the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award.
6. Emily Gravett
Emily Gravett (born 1972) is an English author and illustrator of children's picture books. For her debut book published in 2005 and again two years later, she won the annual Kate Greenaway Medal recognising the year's best-illustrated British children's book (no one has won three).
Gravett completed Wolves in six weeks as an Illustration course project, and added only the back endpaper spread during the editorial process. Some projects take longer but she wrote and sketched Orange Pear Apple Bear in merely 11 hours, waking one Mother's Day with the four words in her head and staying in bed for "the whole book in one go".
Gravett's books are interactive. She encouraged the pet dog to chew the dummy for Wolves, in order "to simulate the impact of the wolf's teeth". That didn't work so she chewed it herself.
She wanted Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears to look genuinely chewed, so she painted yoghurt on plain white paper and laid it in the cage of the two pet rats. They nibbled it and peedon it, which she scanned to produce background for drawing.The front cover illustration shows the title Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears, a mouse looking through a hole it has chewed, and damage along the book edges.
Little Mouse is also a movable book, with "lift flaps and a fold-out map" (quoting a review).
