review 1: This is a great story for any child that doesn't exactly fit in. It goes through many different monsters and how they can be very much the same, or very different. The story is easy to read and has a good flow to it. The pictures go along nicely with the story. I think that this would be a great book for the classroom because it gives message that being different is okay. This could be a very positive story to have and to read in the classroom.
review 2: This book goes through a list of various opposites and pairs them with a plethora of monsters. For example, “Some monsters will eat anything. Some are picky.” The two pages show one monster eating a whole table-full of monster-looking foods. The second picture shows one monster nibbling on a piece of pizza ... morethat has had green bits picked off. This is a fun “monster” book that isn’t scary and could possibly help youngsters learn about opposites. Plus, the monsters are cute. It would take a lot for them to scare kids. I mean, one monster is in a pink suit (pants and vest) with a red 70s-ish polka-dot shirt and glasses doing some dance moves. If it wasn’t a green monster with horns (and a pink suit) I would almost start singing “stayin’ alive” before I turned the page. I also love how the end pages have “monsters” that look like people faces. Perhaps that means that some people are “different” as well? Fun. less
