This is the book that Stuart J. Murphy *wishes* he wrote. It is so rare that a children's book succeeds in merging literature with math gracefully. Seven Scary Monsters would be delightful if I did not have misgivings about the violence evoked by some of the methods by which the monsters are dispelled. This little boy has ray-guns and flame-throwers. It's from the school of children's lit where the coyote falls off the cliff only to live another day to chase the roadrunner.
