Throughout the night, one by one, more oni appear, until there are ten in all, and they grow bigger, too. They begin beating their taiko drums, louder and louder. They play games, have a big meal, and eventually chase away the boy's scary dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith bright watercolor paintings, Stone draws on the folk culture of her native Japan to portray the monsters as both frightening and funny.
