Great Book

My son was going through a phase of seeing monsters everywhere... He loves this book... 2 years after and if he is scared I read this book and it helps a lot... He took it to school and show it to his friends

Monster Trap

My 8 year old actually enjoyed reading this book to me. Amanda is worried that there is a monster in her room at night. With a little help from her family she gets over it. He especially liked the part about the monster trap. Recommended for ages 5-8 years and K-2nd grade. It is written at a 2nd grade reading level. My library has it recommended as a 1-2nd grade reader.

My two year old LOVES this book!

My two+ year old has spent months carrying this book around, having it read to her a hundred times a day and talking about it. She even sleeps with it. She loves the Amanda Pig! We will definitely work on getting her the entire Amanda Pig series. The BOO SHOOO TO YOU segment seems to really resonate with her and we hear (and say) it quite often. You can't have more fun for less than $5!

Amanda is sweet as usual!

Nice series of books. Easy to read with cute and fun stories.
