Customer Reviews

Great treatment of childhood fears

Beautifully illustrated for the 3-to-6 years crowd. A great turnaround story. The child does the confident walking while the dog does the imagining and worrying with lots of subtle and obvious humour along the way. This was read by an enthusiastic wannabe reader over and over and over with smiles and giggles. What a treat!

Funny book, great pictures, and monsters to boot

This book is now one of my two and a half year old's favorites. Lily is having a pleasant walk home, but her dog is not - around every corner he sees the monsters. My daughter and I have a name for every monster in the book - the water monster, the garbage monster, etc. Great for dealing with the stage she is at right now with the monsters under the dining room table! Plus, the illustrations in the book are georgeous!
