Children's Book

This is a children's book. It is short and perfect for someone to read to toddlers. This book is all about a monster that loves nature because of his love of nature he tries to put it in jars. This book teaches kids about nature. It also made me think about catching lighting bugs when I was a kid, and putting them in a jar. Of course made me release them before I went into the house. I think this book has cute pictures that toddlers will love, and I love the underline massage in this book. This book also makes monsters less scary. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

Cute!

This was an adorable little picture book about a monster who wants to keep nature in jars so he can appreciate it. It was lovely to see Monster realize that nature is beautiful and deserves to be admired. And I loved that Monster realizes that he can appreciate nature in its natural form without having to change it or bottle it.
