great read

My son and I love this book! The illustrations are fantastic and the verse is excellent. I only wish it was more of a "guide" ie: longer and with more monsters!

A Child's Guide to Common Household Monsters

Do we really need another monster book? My answer is yes, but only if it is this book. The author has taken a very simple idea and through wonderful verse has made it extraordinary. This book is not only fun to read, but the illustrations are fantastically detailed too. If your child is afraid of monsters and things that go bump in the night, this just might be the book to cure them. I highly recommend it.

This book is so sweet

I bought this book for my young cousins, and it's now their favorite book before bedtime. The rhyming text is really fun to read, and the monsters are adorable.

A very satisfying, fun read

What's a girl to do when she realizes her home is filled with monsters? One thing to do is make friends a rollicking rhyme follows the monsters as they hide through the house, and follow a girl's discovery of their presence. An added surprise awaits the reader who won't expect these household monsters have their own feelings about humans, making this a very satisfying, fun read for picturebook fans seeking something different.

Fun, artistic, original!

This is a beautiful book that you'll want to reach for to read over and over. The illustrations are magnificant. You can look at a picture and see things that you didnt see everytime you read it. The verse is clever and fresh. Highly recommended.
