How to Care for Your Monster

I had this book as a kid and wanted to get it for my kids. It came in good condition. It’s a funny book.

A Classic For Young Children

Although my memory is shady, I DO remember this book being a perfect blend of humor and "horror". Consider it a primer to the "Goosebumps" series: introducing pre-schoolers to the Monsters which informed our pop-culture during the 20th Century. The author/illustrator shows the reader how one can care for their pet monster...whether it be a Dracula, a Werewolf, a Frankenstein, a Mummy...etc.... This would be a great book for a child who has a fear of the "boogieman" in the closet, in that it treats the subject of Monsters with EMPOWERMENT: it lets the child know they CAN tame that Werewolf or Dracula, literal and (eventually) metaphorical. It is primarily aimed at boys, age 5-8.
