Great Counting Book for Those in the Pre-School Set Who Are Amused by Monsters Eating

Monster Munchies has three things to recommend it: 1. Unlike most preschool counting books, this one goes up to 20. 2. By employing amusing situations as monsters misbehave, the book is a lot more interesting than any other counting book I remember reading. 3. If a youngster is fascinated by monsters (and not afraid of them), this book will be a long-time favorite. The book's main drawback is pretty obvious. If your child is timid about monsters (especially thinking that some monster might take a bite out of them), this book could be unsettling. You'll have to decide if your child will be amused or not. If your child isn't sure, you can use the book to encourage feeling unafraid around these goofy monsters that eat the inedible and undesirable. Here's an example of what I mean about evaluating your child: "Twenty hungry monsters with nothing left to chew. Better close this book up tight . . . Before they chew on you!" I loved the illustrations! The drawings are imaginative, colorful, and downright goofy. You get a cross between dinosaurs and space aliens with variations on Sesame Street characters in between.

Adorable!

Thisis an adorable book and perfect for a 3 year old! It has some "scary " pages that are age appropriate for the imagination at that age. Our daughter loves it.

Loved it!

This is one that I ran across at the public library. The teacher in me loves that it has number words, color words, and rhyming words. My kids (boys- ages 4 and nearly 6)love the story, the illustrations, and the humor. From "One giant monster wears a dress, eats the couch, and makes a mess" to "Twenty hungry monsters with nothing left to chew. Better close this book up tight...Before they chew on YOU!" A really cute book!

A Preschool Favorite

My kids love this book, and when I read it to my 4 year old's preschool class, they went nuts! They ALL loved it! I'm buying it for his preschool teacher for xmas.

Excellent and Fun Beginner Book!

This is a FUN and cute monster book. Excellent for beginning readers but fun to read to younger children. I have a three year old who has memorized the book and loves to 'read' it to me! He loves his MONSTER MUNCHIES!!
