I absolutely loved this children's book! How creative!
The colors were bright and cheerful! These  wonderful kid-friendly bright cheerful colors were green, red, orange, yellow, pink, purple, blue! This fun friendly book truly brought a HUGE MONSTER smile to my face!

As I read this delightful book, I thought about how this could have been about a dog or any animal. What a great story even though it is a story about monsters. They aren't creepy and won't scare children.

This book make for a great story time. Where you can spend time discussing each step and having a nice question and answer period. Children will love this book. Especially if they like monsters... and aren't afraid of things that go bump in the night.
 
 The story ends with tucking your monster in at night...
"Tuck him in, turn out his light, and give him a big kiss good night."

Until the next time!

Happy reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Children's book a day, keeps the scary monster away!
