Everyone need a Monster

What a delightful book! Illustrations have the right mixture between funny and just a tweensy bit scary, giving reader and child lots of opportunity to discuss myth and reality of monsterdom. My 3 year old granddaughter loves to look at the pictures and scream and then laugh.

Love it!

10-Step Guide... is full of imaginative fun. Ms. Numeroff's clever writing style and Mr. Evan's playful illustrations really come together nicely to offer an enjoyable experience for the reader. I am also impressed that part of the proceeds from the sale of the book goes to Michael J. Fox's Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

Monster Fun.....

Laura Numeroff's 10-Step Guide to Living with Your Monster

This is a great book! My son loved it. It reads with the fun-lovingness that Laura Numeroff uses in her "Give a Mouse a Cookie" series and Nate Evans' art is a true joy to look at! Good goofy fun!

Good, good fun...as usual.

Once again, this team has put together a delightful book. Your little ones will love it doubly: both listening to it and reading it to you. However, what was as fun was giving it as a gift to several of my single women friends currently involved w/ various "monsters" of their own. What hoots that's causing still!In either venue, treat yourself to this one.
